Tom Carter
Tom Carter spent 2 straight years backpacking a groundbreaking 35,000 miles across all 33 Chinese provinces, and was named "one of China's foremost explorers" by The World of Chinese magazine. His first book "CHINA: Portrait of a People" (2008, Blacksmith Books, Hong Kong) has been hailed as the most comprehensive book of photography on modern China ever published by a single author.

Most recently, he penned the illustrated biography "An American Bum in China" (2019, Camphor Press, Taiwan). In 2024, Carter entered pre-production to write, direct and produce his first feature film. Tom Carter was born and raised in the City of San Francisco, graduated with a degree in Political Science from the American University in Washington, D.C., and has called China home since 2004.
