Amazing Photo Series : Pollution in China
Viewing photos of pollution won’t be everyone’s idea of a good time, but Lu Guang from the People’s Republic of China, who was a factory worker, won a $30,000 prize for his documentary project, “Pollution in China“.
He won the prize on the 14th October at the 30th annual awards ceremony of the W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund which took place at the Asia Society in New York City.
His gritty images of the grimy reality that people face in China are sobering, thought provoking and heart rending. They’re accompanied by captions that add further understanding to what viewers see.
