Creator of striking lyrical photography, Wing Shya is well known as the former exclusive photographer and graphic designer for movie director Wong Kar-Wai. In addition to film stills, Shya’s original work and fashion photography will be showcased in a space designed to make the most of their expressive presence. Wing’s attention to the brief is visible in the works cumulative power. When enjoyed independently every image shares a personal moment and an identifiable story. This is a rare opportunity to see Wing Shya’s work on display in the unique atmosphere of a historic obi workshop in a traditional Kyoto townhouse.
