Photographer Ian Teh belongs to what we call ‘slow journalism’, like Joe Sacco and a few others who take time to do their work. Or you could say, like New Yorker staff writer Evan Osnos who lives in Beijing and has worked with Teh several times, that Ian Teh “comes from the expeditionary school of photography. All he needs is a camera and a lens or two”. To some extent, Teh has already vanished into the landscape.
