Photography Now: China, Japan, Korea explores the diverse styles of contemporary artists working in Asia. Citing examples that range from the birds-eye urban landscapes of Naoya Hatakeyama to the street scenes of Luo Dan, Sutcliffe talks about how these artists use photography to respond to their changing surroundings and reference the past.
