Christopher Wilton-Steer's photography explores the rich history of the Silk Road, a crucial trade route linking China to Rome and the Mediterranean. In his forthcoming book, he documents his extensive travels across 25,000 miles through Europe and Asia. His stunning images capture historical and cultural sites, reflecting the exchange of goods, ideas, and beliefs that has defined this 1,500-year-old network. Although modern trade relies on advanced technology, the essence of connection and cultural transition remains.
"When we fly somewhere, we arrive at the destination and most aspects of life are different. Traveling overland, I wanted to experience the transitions between different cultures and gain a deeper understanding of what connects us."
