What’s in a picture?

A picture’s worth a thou­sand words. Behind gifted eyes, is a vision, a gen­tle whis­per from the heart, an artist’s soul. Like the deaf­en­ing silence in a vibrant dream,

…every pic­ture tells a story with a dif­fer­ent point of view.

China's Minority Ethnic Group: Derung
© Chen Haiwen

China may be a single-party nation, and the Hans may be the cra­dle of her pop­u­la­tion, but she is also home to 56 eth­nic groups, a land of con­cealed diversity.

Chen Haiwen, 54, and 14 other pho­tog­ra­phers embarked on a project to doc­u­ment this in 2009, and a book “Harmonious China — Features of China’s 56 Ethnic Groups” was pub­lished as the result. Follow the jump to see snap­shots of the book, which is now avail­able on the iTunes App Store as a $1.99 iPhone App — China 56 Ethnic HD.

One year in mak­ing, the book was com­piled from over 57,000 cap­tures by the trav­el­ing 15-crew pro­duc­tion team.
