从安塞尔·亚当斯式的超验主义传统中出离，走向文化的风景以及社会风景，是风景摄影发展脉络中的一个重要转型。在高度“类象”（simulacrum）化的今天，新一代摄影师更关注的是人为的而非自然的风景。人、物与地方，是摄影中最基本的三个主题，风景摄影把观者带入图像中的地方，并引发相关思考。而持续关注某个地方的风景摄影，其所呈现的则是此地的地方性精神。
In the development of landscape photography, there was an important transformation where artists ran from Ansel Adams transcendentalist tradition to embrace cultural landscape and social landscape. This is an age of simulacrum, and the new generation of photographers pay more attention to artificial landscape, rather than natural landscape. Man, thing and place are the basic topics in photography. Landscape photography brings the viewers to that place depicted in the picture and triggers them to think. Landscape photography that pays constant attention to a certain place, on the other hand, seeks to present the local spirit of that area.
1976年我出生于内蒙古自治区呼和浩特市，那里是我的故乡。内蒙古自治区位于中国北部，面积辽阔，是中国最大的草原牧区，对家乡的感情促使我重新审视这里。2008年1月，我开始了在内蒙古自治区的旅行和拍摄。这些照片真实反映了地处边疆的人们当下的生活。拍摄《大地》的过程，恰恰是我了解自己家乡的过程。在这广阔的草原，蒙古族传统游牧生活方式受到了现代的影响——一些牧民不再住蒙古包，而在乡镇定居；有的年轻人更愿意穿得潮流些，而大多老人们才会穿蒙古袍。
I was born in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia in 1976. This autonomous region of China lies on the northern border of the country. It is immense—larger than Texas and California combined, in terms of surface area. Because of its enormous size, it contains rich mineral deposits as well as endless grassland suitable for animal grazing. Both Han and Mongolian people have lived for millennia across this magnificent expanse. But the traditional nomadic lifestyle has been deeply influenced by the impact of modernization. Some herders do not live in yurts anymore—instead, they have settled in towns. Some young people would rather dress themselves more fashionably. Only old Mongolian people wear traditional Mongolian clothing now. I’ve been photographing the region since 2008. These are photographs of the people and their everyday lives.
