I thought Shanghai was a modern city. Until, that is, I walked away from the bright lights and skyscrapers in the centre and started to explore the older neighbourhoods. Some of these are simply undeveloped, and will probably be bulldozed and rebuilt in the near future. Others have retained their ‘old’ character for reasons of commerce and tourism, such as Yuyuan Garden in the Old City.

China is fascinating and beautiful. It’s also photogenic. I like photos of the little details that say so much: cups, food, lanterns and so on. Recently I’ve been looking at the work of several Chinese photographers that are really good at taking these sorts of images. Ling Li is one of them – her photos are full of energy and life. Take some time to look at her Flickrstream and photoblog, and enjoy the interview.

I first came across Mitchell Kanashkevich’s work a couple of years ago and I was so impressed by it that I asked him to participate in an interview on my blog right away (you can read it here). His photos are subtle and powerful, and show a mastery of light, composition and use of colour.

What do you do if you find yourself in a place with spectacular scenery, yet the weather is awful? One of the first things we learn as photographers is about light – and that you need good light to take great photos, especially landscapes.

Mitchell Kanashkevich wanders some of the world’s most remote places, capturing the ethereal beauty of the world’s disappearing cultures with his remarkable photos. From India to Indonesia, he documents the lives of people whose traditions may vanish as modernity encroaches.
I came across Mitchell Kanashkevich’s work after following a link from the Travel Photographer blog and I was blown away by the atmospheric quality of his Sulfur Miners photos. They were so good that I instantly knew that this was a photographer that I wanted to interview. I also recommend that you check out Mitchell’s blog.
