Gifting Photo Books
We need your help to create a beautiful photo book as a gift to the friends and families we have been photographing in Guilin over the years.
We discovered that even the cormorant fishermen only had a handful of very low-grade photos, we were shocked to learn that they did not have even one quality photo, no canvas, no wall art, no photo book, at most a couple of nice photos, except the clipping of a few Canon ads. Even local Chinese photographers had not come back and gifted art or images.
We want to change that with your help!
We've become friends with these guys over our years living in Guilin, visiting their home, have eaten with them at home and got to know their family and friends. So the idea has evolved, and this year we want to produce a beautiful photo book that is a collection of all our past clients, from pro's like Trey Ratcliff, Rick Sammon and Jim Harmer to enthusiasts capturing a beautiful smile, we want everyone in on this together. :)
It's easy to take part, just click on the person to go to their image upload page.

Depending on how many upload we get will depend on if everyone's images get in the book, to if only 20-30 get in. We plan to ask their friends and family to pick out some of their favourites.
We aim to gift the book at Chinese New Year, Spring 2018.
