ERIC has a seemingly insatiable desire to photograph people, and his use of bright flash in daylight makes his candid portraits practically leap off the page. Born in Hong Kong, he did not visit China until the build-up to the Beijing Olympics, when he made the vibrant photographs of his book Good Luck China. In Look at This People he makes another book about China, this time focused on life in the southern region of Yunnan. He says he was drawn to the uniquely carefree way people live there, and there is real energy in the pictures. Nothing illustrates this better than a section in which he wades into a local festival where people literally sling mud at each other: his camera did not survive the event, but the photographs that did are a testament to the vivacity of Yunnan's people and to his determination to capture it on film.
