Recent Work: Harbin Siberian Tiger Park


A tiger skeleton stands in a vat of tiger wine at the Siberian Tiger Park in Haerbin, Heilongjiang Province, China. The wine is said to imbue drinkers with various health benefits such as strength and virility.  The wine sells for 780 renminbi (about US$110.00) per half kilogram of liquid.

I’ve added a small selection of work from the Harbin Siberian Tiger Park in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China, at the recent work section of my website. It’s a strange place. The photos will fit into my Chinese zoo project in some fashion.

Recent work: Nanjing Parkour


Members of Nanjing's TNT parkour team practice the sport in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.

I had a quick shoot this weekend for Map Magazine covering a local group of parkour practitioners. A small edit from the afternoon is up at the Recent Work section of this site.

M. Scott Brauer archive at photoshelter
I've just begun making my archive available through Photoshelter.  There's also a search bar available in the righthand sidebar of my site.  Currently there are about 1000 images in the archive, all available through the search, and I'm adding more, both new and old. 

Featured on Verve Photo!

I'm happy to say that I was just recently featured on the Geoffrey Hiller's excellent blog Verve Photo: A New Breed of Documentary Photographers.  Hiller chose to highlight a photo of Duwei from the band Overdose from my Punk in China story.  

Back from Haerbin


A family lights sparklers and other fireworks in the crowd gathered in Stalin Park on the banks of the Songhua River during Lantern Festival celebrations in central Haerbin, Heilongjiang Province, China.
I've returned from a short trip to Haerbin, having made it through bitter cold, fireworks during the Lantern Festival (above) that felt like artillery shelling, camera failure, and a Siberian tiger preserve.  Pictures should be forthcoming.

Heading north
