The Way i Go

Photographer Lu Guang’s “Pollution in China” project won this year’s $30,000 W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography from the Asia Society in New York. His project documents families, farmers, industrial districts, rivers, the countryside, cancer patients, children; anyone and everything affected by pollution across China.

Since he completed his graduate studies at Tsinghua University in Beijing, Lu’s been traveling all over the country as a freelance photographer. His photos are thought provoking, and the project is a kind of haunting but strangely beautiful window into how rapid industrialization has affected China’s residents, rural and urban alike.
