Eye of The Beholder: Photography Books by Julian Bound

By Julian Bound

EYE OF THE BEHOLDER  a Photography Book by JULIAN BOUND

A photographic collection of people from across the world by National Geographic contributor and award winning documentary photographer Julian Bound.

Taken over a ten year period whilst living on the road travelling throughout the continents of Asia and South East Asia, the following collection of portraiture work represents the diversity of people found within the countries of Nepal, Thailand, Bhutan, Cambodia, Japan, India, Tibet and Indonesia.

From the women who adorn traditional Japanese kimono to parade the streets of Kyoto's Gion geisha district to the monks of Dharamsala's Gyuto Tantric monastery nestled in the foothills of India's Himalaya mountain range, and from those who live in the extreme conditions of Tibet's Mount Everest base camp at an altitude of 17,056ft/5,200m to the laughing rice field workers of Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, 'Eye of The Beholder' presents an insight into the world and its range of communities, with only a brief accompanying outline telling of each photographs location - as it is the photograph itself which tells the story.

Photography Locations:

• NEPAL
• THAILAND
• BHUTAN
• CAMBODIA
• JAPAN
• INDIA
• TIBET
• INDONESIA.

A selection of intimate portraiture photography from eight countries and two continents.
