Book Reviews of Tibetan Portrait: The Power of Compassion
Book Review: It's a subtle work!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tibetan Portrait is really what the name says - As a photographer myself I was touched by the beautiful and subtle images on the book. It also teaches us about the present situation of Tibet, a land which has been dominated by the Chinese since its invasion in 1949, under Mao-Tse Tung's force. It's interesting and very easy to read and understand history. The pictures are as if you were transported into time and it's hard to believe they've been shot ( sort of )recently. And it also has a quick information about the equipment the author Phil Borges used to take them. It's the sort of information a photographer is always glad to see! Finishing is great, beautiful paper with a hardcover and jacket. Great work!
