TWOC’s new photo contest is open for submissions
Complexity and change. Land of contrasts and extremes. These are words typically invoked when China’s storytellers are pressed to come up with a definition of the country, and few people showcase these descriptions better than Huang Ruide, a Guangdong-based freelance photographer whose work TWOC has consistently featured since 2019.
Huang began taking photos in 2010, but he formerly worked in water conservation and news journalism. He tells TWOC these jobs allowed him to travel around the country and trained him to “quickly identify happenings and capture the truth.” His work focuses on folk customs and cultures in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and other southern regions of China. In 2020, he published on his WeChat blog a collection titled “Most China,” showcasing 33 photos from his career capturing moments that he felt best represented the country.
