Yan Preston
I’m a British-Chinese artist based in West Yorkshire, UK. I was born in central China and trained in Clinical Medicine there. I worked as an anaesthetist in Shanghai before moving to the UK in 2005. That’s when I decided to become a photographer. I was an amateur photographer in China but to turn it into a career was the biggest decision I have made so far.

In 2010 I decided to embark on the hardest adventure of my life, to photograph the entire 6,211km of the Yangtze River in China.
