My friend Yuan Di runs Jia Za Zhi — one of the most beautiful photography blogs in the entire universe.

Last year Jia Za Zhi moved from online publishing to the real thing and put out a book of Sun Yanchu’s striking black and white photographs called “Obsessed”.

Sun’s work manages to appear free and furtive at the same time.  His photographs are infused with a sense of abandon even though he seems to have been crouching in the shadows. The book is relentlessly paced and the images come across like a barely remembered hallucination.

You can order “Obsessed” online at Bananafish. I understand that there aren’t too many copies left. For more information, and to see some spreads from the book, please click here.
