Nadav Kander has forged an international reputation as one of the most highly regarded photographers of our time. His work is included in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. He was named International Photographer of the Year at the 7th Annual Lucie Awards in 2009 and has received awards from the Art Director’s Club and IPA in the USA, the D&AD and the John Kobal Foundation in the UK and Epica in Europe. He was awarded the Royal Photographic Society’s ‘Terence Donovan’ Award in 2002 and the Silver Photographer of the Year at the Lianzhou International Photo Festival in China in 2008. Kander was chosen as the winner of the prestigious Prix Pictet award in 2009.
His series Yangzte, The Long River is simultaneously poem, travel journal and visual odyssey: we are made to witness the journey from the river's mouth to its source at a time of tumultuous social and environmental change. Kander draws us into the charged landscape through his images; photographic odes to the disquieting and arresting metamorphosis of a nation's spatial and temporal ballasts, distilling human-scale intimacy within scenes of monumental transformation.
