Inspired by the beauty of distant countries, Asia celebrates the depth and grandeur of the Far East. The fourth volume in Abrams’ album-size collection of Olivier Föllmi’s photographs, this book presents the most exceptional images the artist took during his travels in Burma, Japan, China, and Vietnam, and many points between. The large format allows the photographs, their colors, and the places and people they capture to come alive in the reader’s hands. The photographs are accompanied by captions written by acclaimed journalist Virginie de Borchgrave that give detailed information about each image. The book also includes an essay by Föllmi, who describes his experience traveling in these regions. Asia is a celebration and invocation of the continent which has inspired many to dream.
Born in 1958 of Latin and Germanic descent, Olivier Follmi spent twenty years photographing the Himalayas and since 2003 he has travelled the planet to capture its richness, beauty and diversity. Working with his wife, Danielle, on the project Offerings for Humanity, Follmi has authored some of Abrams' bestsellers.
