Suzhou Alleys and Canals

On a trip to China in spring of this year, I took a day trip to the city of Suzhou.

Suzhou is a street photographer’s daydream. Old streets, narrow alleys and a network of canals. My time spent here was really far too short, but these images capture a few of the sights that I was able to witness.

Streets of Shanghai

Earlier this year I traveled to China, and Shanghai was one of the destinations I visited. It was a city that I had been before but hadn’t truly explored. This time, I came with a camera.

Walking Around Beijing

Beijing, a huge city featuring ancient and modern China, often side by side.

Traveling here requires a lot of energy - the walking never stops. Here are some shots of Beijing life that I came across while on the go.
