Yan Preston – Photographic Projects
Between 2010 and 2014, for my ‘Mother River’ project, I photographed the entire 6,211km Yangtze River in China at precise 100 intervals with a large-format film camera.

Bottom Moor
For most people, the drive to work in the cold dark mornings during autumn and winter provides an indifferent start to their day. For me, as I pull off the driveway I'm full of hope and optimism. more
Parchi Di Nervi
Nervi Parks are located in the easternmost part of Genoa. They comprise of the gardens once belonging to different aristocratic villas and they represent one of the most significant green public areas of the city, extending for about 9.2 hectares. more
Scotch Mist
The Scotch Mist series came about due to the fact that I wanted more of a hand in the actual creation of the images I felt I was going stale creatively and becoming dissatisfied with just taking pictures. more
30th December
Wherever I am in the world, on 30th December, I shall go out and make photographs and remember my dad. more
