Pop-ups by Colette Fu from her series We are Tiger Dragon People depicting the minority peoples of Yunnan province, China.
Colette Fu makes pop-up books from her photographs. She received her MFA in Fine Art Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2003 and soon after began an obsession with constructing pop-up books. Colette has designed pop-ups for award winning stop motion animation commercials and has freelanced for clients such as Vogue China, Canon Asia and Moët Hennessy • Louis Vuitton.

With pop-up books I want to eliminate the boundaries between book, installation, photography, craft and sculpture.”
