A visual narration about the life of the people in Universiti Sains Malaysia as seen and captured by Stefano Romano, a photographer from Italy, during his brief tenure at the University.

My Malaysian Tales 




This book will take you to travel to the heart of the land and the people of Malaysia—from the traditional to the modern, from the rural areas to the urbanscapes. Changes are speeding fast in this region of Asia, but traces of the old times and soul are still to be seen if you know where to look.

My Malaysian Tales presents photos, stories, and personal notes that will give you a closer look at and understanding of the country.

Not an ordinary travel photography book with images, narratives, and insights. It's a travel odyssey of one man, with genuine care and an insatiable curiosity for searching, understanding, and experiencing new and different cultures in the country that's close to his heart.

My Bangladesh Tales




We travel to meet new people, we travel to know people better. That's what brings Stefano Romano on his trip to Bangladesh. It has been his dream to be on the land of the people who have been among his best friends in his hometown, Rome. To see them in their homeland is an experience he seeks to have a better understanding of.  
With the same intelligence and charm he brought to "My Malaysian Tales", Stefano Romano presents here stories and pictures from his Bangladesh trip. He's incredibly articulate when describing the experience he had with the people, the places, and traditions. Stefano even takes us to visit the biggest Rohingya refugee camp in Cox's Bazar and tells stories of photographing fleeting moments with determination.  
Nicely combines the art of seeing with the art of traveling, "My Bangladesh Tales" will open our eyes to a new way to see the world, a new way to travel.
