James Whitlow Delano is a world-renowned photographer having photographed all across Asia, from Afghanistan to Burma, India and Indonesia. His textured black-and-white photographs have the impact of documentary photography while presenting the viewer with an epic sense of the human condition. "Immersing myself in a country means, for me, quietly wandering the backstreets of its cities, towns and villages. I find it is still possible to slip into a place or situation unnoticed - at least temporarily. Speed is everything. I must pass by quickly and quietly in order to capture the ’out of the corner of my eye’ immediacy that I seek before I disturb the scene," says Delano.
Tokyo-based Delano worked with Annie Leibovitz and Greg Gorman before going off on his own. Photographic assignments have taken him from the rainforests of Southeast Asia to the Silk Road, Africa and Europe, for Le Monde II, Time, Newsweek, and Vanity Fair, among other publications. Delano has received many awards, including the Alfred Eisenstaedt (Eisie) Award by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and presented by Life Magazine for work done in China, and the Grand Prize at the Banff Mountain Photography Competition and the National Geographic Society for “Jambeyang Holy Mountain, Tibet.” Delano’s “Empire: Impressions from China” body of photographs was the first one-person show of photography ever at the La Triennale di Milano Art Museum, Milano, Italy in 2005 and at Palazzo Battioro, in Venice, Italy in 2006.

James Whitlow Delano 是一位全球知名的摄影师，他的作品涵盖了整个亚洲地区，从阿富汗到缅甸，印度，以及印度尼西亚。他那黑白特色的照片既有纪实摄影的深刻效果，又如史诗般壮丽地呈现了人类的状态。Delano 说：“对于我来说，深入一个国家意味着要在她的城市，小镇，乡村的后街小巷漫步。我发现还是可以溜到一个不被注意的场所或者场合――至少暂时如此。速度意味一切。我必须尽可能迅速且安静的经过以便能在其被我惊扰之前抓拍到我寻找已久的‘在眼角之外’的那个瞬间。”
驻地在东京的 Delano 在单飞之前曾和 Annie Leibovitz 和 Greg Gorman 一起工作。他的足迹曾遍布从东南亚的热带雨林到丝绸之路，非洲和亚洲，为《世界报2》,《时代》,《新闻周刊》, 以及《名利场》等多家刊物完成拍摄任务。Delano 获得过很多奖项，包括因其在中国的工作而获得由哥伦比亚大学新闻系研究生院评选的《生命》杂志的Alfred Eisenstaedt (Eisie)奖, 以及以其《央迈勇圣山，西藏》获得班夫山地摄影大赛和国家地理学会的大奖。Delano的“帝国：印象中国”摄影展也是当时首个在意大利米兰La Triennale di Milano艺术博物馆（2005年）和威尼斯Palazzo Battioro（2006年）开展的个人展。
