Ian Teh has been photographing China for more than 15 years. His photography expresses his concern for social, environmental and political. Amongst selected works, his series, “The Vanishing: Altered Landscapes and Displaced Lives” (1999-2003), records the devastating impact of the Three Gorges Dam on China’s Yangtze River Valley. In later works, such as “Dark Clouds” (2006-2008), “Tainted Landscapes” (2007-2008) and “Traces” (2009-), Teh explores the darker consequences of China’s booming economy. His work is part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Hood Museum in the U.S.
