Canadian, Edward Burtynsky is one of the world’s foremost photographers. He specializes in photographing the impact of man and his machines on the environment. Last year he turned his cameras on China to document the massive revolution that is taking place. Burtynsky’s photographs capture the remains of old industrial complexes and their new cleaner manufacturing counterparts. He has also recorded the transformation of the cities, whose population has mushroomed from 72 million in 1952 to 524 million today.

The best way to see China’s transformation is to see it with your own eyes, the next best thing is to look at Burtynsky’s photographs.
