Shengsi, an archipelago of almost 400 islands at the mouth of China’s Yangtze river, holds a secret shrouded in time – an abandoned fishing village being reclaimed by nature. These photos by Tang Yuhong, a creative photographer based in Nanning, take us into this lost village on the beautiful archipelago.
The Photographers Behind Some of the Most Iconic Images of Our Time
Over the course of history, certain iconic photographs have become an integral part of our collective, cultural memory. Steve McCurry’s “Afghan Girl,” Jeff Widener’s “Tank Man,” and Nick Ut’s “Napalm Attack in Vietnam” are only some of the images that have left a lasting mark as the great photographs of our time. Tim Mantoani aims to immortalize those legendary shots and the brilliant individuals behind them in the ambitious series Behind Photographs, which depicts renowned photographers posing with their most well known images.
“Most of my photos are grounded in people, I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person’s face.” - Steve McCurry
