Family moments captured, for free, in Tibet

Samtan, one of those responsible for the studio, said most of the photographers are people who work in the government sector. He added that his team has taken more than 300 family portraits of villagers, and he was glad to find that many of them had never had such a picture taken before.

"We want to not only record their life images, but also convey the social and economic changes of the county," he said.

"We have elicited many smiles while shooting the portraits, and we want to make more residents feel the warmth of the government."
