After working to get permission to bring a camera into North Korea for over a year, Charlie Crane finally did make his trip, camera in hand, back in 2007. Cell phone confiscated and accompanied by two 'guides' throughout his stay, Crane knew he wouldn't get what he necessarily hoped to get. So he did the next best thing and shot exactly what they wanted him to. The resulting images are an astonishing work that launched his career into the spotlight.

This work was published in Crane's book, Welcome to Pyonyang, first published in 2007.
