Shanghainese artist Hu Yang has three photographic series posted online at Shanghartgallery. A documentary photographer, Yang shot 5 00 families around the city of 26 million. Straightforward, yet evocative, the photos are well worth a look.
Like Robert Frank's 1955 work The Americans, Yang's collection is both full of fascinating photos and powerful as a whole.
