In this rich photographic odyssey of China, where he has spent nearly half of his 20-year career, Yann Layma portrays city and country, traditional customs and the shock of modernity, and many aspects of public and private life. From the ancient architecture of the Great Wall to the skyscrapers of ultramodern Shanghai, he captures the essence of one of the world's great nations while finding nuances of gesture and expression. Among the 216 images here—many of them filling two pages—are millers and street vendors, poor fishermen and affluent diners in skyscraper restaurants, a child slurping noodles and an actor painting his face.
