"Wing Shya: The photographer who immortalized Hong Kong's cool" CNN Style.
Through his lens, bold, saturated colours punctuate otherwise bleak landscapes, and listless beauties find themselves trapped in urban ennui, yearning, and the dust of everyday life.

"Wild Flower" Ketholeno Kense & Imaad Shah lensed by Andrea Varani for Elle India March 2017
"In Andrea's lens, this game, which is more intense with the female figure and the body, creates the look, the thrill, and the expression of the whole body underneath the clothes.
The fashion he photographs is depicted as desirable but also possible.
The spaces, the sharp and muted lighting make the construction of the image pictorial and refined.
The landscapes and the nature explored by Varani introduce and describe the pleasure of enjoying the photograph as a variation of what is real.
In fact, the fatal attraction of aesthetics persists in order to enhance the continuous changing of reality.
His accomplishments go beyond fashion photography and reproduce his cultural and personal elements." ... Daniela Cattaneo

“DÒNG THỜI GIAN…THE COURSE OF TIME” Ao Trang 2017 Calendar lensed by Pham Hoai Nam
“Áo dài is a Vietnamese traditional dress, a symbol of cultural and spirit of Viet Nam. Áo dai's evolution dates back to the 18th century from its earliest forms as áo yếm (an undergarment). The long history of the áo dài reflects the adaptability and the many hardships of the Vietnamese people. Though áo dài has undergone many changes over the course of time, its allure and appeal has become a symbol of the Vietnamese beauty and national pride.
Along with taking steps back into the history of áo dài, I personally wanted to experiment with wet-plate collodion photographic process of the 19th century, the revolutionized technique that has major impact on modern photography. This passage through time with the history of photography and the Viennamese áo dài has personally been a long-awaited endeavor. Thank you for joining me on this journey.”
“Our passion has always been for the beauty of the Vietnamese traditional white dress (áo dài trắng). Our mission has always been to the better lives of the less fortunate. Therefore, 100% proceeds from Ao Trang Calendar are donated to benefit our orphanages in Vietnam. Thanks to everyone for the support you have given to Hoai Nam & Ao Trang Calendar.”

“Hulos” by the Vietnamese designer duo Huỳnh Hải Long and Đặng Thế Huy
“Fashion is the bridge to bring Vietnamese, our beloved country’s culture to the world. Many designers approach fashion by looking forward to its magnificence, but then lost themselves in its frivolously and flashy. In our opinion, fashion is not only talent itself, but also a demonstration of many skills and understanding in many aspects. A designer is also a psychologist, a politician, an architect, an economist, a scientist, and many other jobs. To exist in this industry, a designer need resolves and experience…We follow the Buddhist teaching. The philosophy of Buddhist teaches us many lessons to help us grow up. My principles of living are sharing, live slowly, think differently and love more. If I am a super hero, I want a power which can transform other everybody to be good because a fashion designer can only create external beauty, but cannot perfect people soul”
