In the Spring of 2015 I was shooting in the Kathmandu valley for almost a month. Shortly after I left a disastrous earthquake stroke the country, once again, with terrible consequences for people and historic heritage. After little more then two years the nation is rebuilding itself with resilience and courage, counting on people so used to hardships to make the process apparently swift. The images reveal the beauty and vitality of this country, it’s contrasts, spirituality and immense culture. This is a dedication to Nepal and it’s people.
On the fifteenth anniversary, the photographic chronicle of the journey that changed deeply the work of Andrea Pistolesi. From Panama to the United States border, crossing a difficult humanity full of colors and contrasts. An example of how travel photography may turn to social without compromises.
A selection of photos taken by Andrea Pistolesi over the ten years spent in Asia, shooting stories for magazines and books. Ten years when he lived in the continent, facing the dramatic changes that modernization was introducing at an unprecedented pace. This is not just a photographic gallery: is a document of the evolution that the continent has experienced in a crucial period of human history. The introduction and notes by Massimo Morello, the journalist that produced the “written side” of the stories, is the ideal completion of the whole work.
SES is many things: a collection of photos that shows my work in South East Asia, or at least what I consider the most representative part of it; the catalog of the exhibition originated at the Pisa Prize for Photography in 2011 that continues to grow since then; my testimony in this changing world. Above all it is a "work in progress", a collection of images that I count to update and expand as this work continues.
A gallery of images on the Via Francigena from the Alps to Rome and then from here to the ports of Puglia. Accompanied by interactive GPS references to precisely indicate their shooting locations, the most iconic places, the most spectacular landscapes now enriched with aerial photos. A visual guide to be able to choose the places to visit or not lose during the journey.
Sak Yant, the Magical Tattoo Art of South East Asia, is part of the culture and the ancient animist cult of the spirits in the region. Now is back being popular among the younger generations. This photographic gallery explores the contemporary forms of this expression, but seeks also its roots in the remote regions of Burma where the Shan people live. Now with new layout, original Shan tattoo designs and a text by Massimo Morello
According to many observers, the 21st century will see the centre of global power shift from West to East. The Asian megacities presented in this book form the heart of this new centre, where economic indicators often hit “double-digit figures”. The book is not a guide to these cities. It is a nonfiction, journalistic account that aims to provide a very personal (in the eyes of the writer and photographer) outlook on this new world through its most powerful symbols. It may be a useful tool for those wanting to do business, start a new career or even a new life. For those wanting to distance themselves from a Euro-centric vision and understand how the world could be changing. For better or worse…

The images captured by Andrea Pistolesi, of an unusual landscape of the precious archaeological and monumental heritage of Myanmar, suggested the initiative. To present to a wider public a little known aspect of the history of urbanisation in Southeast Asia: the cities of the Pyu culture. An extensive photo gallery and a precise archaeological presentation are a pleasant introduction to one of the best preserved areas of Burma, the modern Myanmar.
