Ag Magazine’s Brilliant Book Awards
By Tessa Bunney on 22 July 2010Over the past year or so I’ve been experimenting with various on-line book making options including Blurb and I recently entered Ag magazines Brilliant Book Awards and to my delight came third with a book I made of images taken in Yunnan province in China.
The book is a collection of landscapes, interiors and portraits of the people and places of Yunnan as I wandered randomly, using local transport and on foot, around the villages from the mountainous peaks in the north of the province to the tropics in the south bordering Vietnam and Laos. It is interspersed with photographs of produce purchased at local markets and pieces of textiles scanned in situ in the women’s homes.
This is still work in progress, I am travelling to Guizhou province in October to continue the project but making it was great fun and I won a voucher to make more books!
