Biography
Franky Tsang, also known as Beani, was born in Hong Kong and moved to Sydney in 1984. He built on a certificate in graphic design at First Design College in Hong Kong with a Masters of Multimedia Design at the University of Sydney in 2001. He was awarded a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems from the University of New South Wales in 2005. Franky has worked in the printing industry since 1992 and as a graphic design professional since 1994.
His clients include Man Investments Australia, Readers Digest Australia and CST Mining Group in Hong Kong.
Franky's photography has been published in various magazines, newspapers and websites across the country, and has been recognised by national and international awards.
Specialising in weddings, photojournalism and portraiture, Franky's keen attention to the moment and enthusiasm for the medium create memorable images that get to the heart of his subject at hand.
"I believe that photography is about the essence of the moment — not simply sharpness and exposure. My objective is for the viewer to feel the emotion, attitude and the character residing in my subject."
Franky is always willing to give back to the community with his craft. He encourages contact from charities looking for photography services and is open to collaboration with other photographers working on personal projects in line with his goals.
