Devoted photographer captures the essence of grottoes

From the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to Longmen and the Yungang Grottoes, Pamirs plateau, the Hashun Gobi desert, and even the icy peaks of glaciers, Wu Jian has been unwaveringly exploring his style of cultural relic photography. His photographic works not only provide accurate visual records for academic research on cultural relics, but also contribute an extremely precious visual testament to the dissemination and promotion of the splendid culture along the Silk Road.

Moreover, Wu also participated in the "Digital Dunhuang" project, leading his team to accomplish high-definition digital scans of 290 caves, creating panoramic experiences for 162 caves, and three-dimensional reconstruction of 45 painted sculptures and seven major sites. These endeavors are geared towards the enhanced preservation of the Dunhuang grottoes.

Recently, Wu Jian's photographic works were exhibited at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing.
