Nadav Kander HonFRPS (born 1961)[1] is a London-based photographer, artist and director, known for his portraiture and landscapes.
After being drafted into the South African Air Force, Kander worked in a darkroom printing aerial photographs.
In the shadow of epic construction projects we see workers, fishermen, swimmers and a man washing his motorbike in the river.
Dense architecture gives way to mountains in the upper reaches towards the river's Tibetan source - a sparsely populated area where the stream is mostly broken ice and just ankle deep.
Figures are dwarfed by landscapes of half completed bridges and colossal Western-style apartment blocks that are rapidly replacing traditional Chinese low-rise buildings and houseboats.
