Nadav Kander’s Yangtze River project explores the banks and waterways of The Yangtze River that provide home and livelihood for hundreds of millions of Chinese. Taken along the river from its source in remote western China to its mouth just off the shores of Shanghai, these photographs, shown here for the very first time, depict the human footprint of habitat and industry that can be seen along the shores of China’s longest river.

From 2006 to 2008 Kander travelled along the Yangtze's banks from its mouth to its source – a distance of 4,100 miles that took him from the modernised city of Shanghai to the rural Qinghai province in the west of the country.
