Yang Wang is a Chinese photographer, also emeritus dancer, graduated from the Institute of the People's Liberation Army of China.

Since 2011 he has devoted himself mainly to fashion and nude photography, working with the biggest magazines like GQ or Vogue, allowing him to develop the main subject of his artistic reflection: his relationship to the body.
