Artist statement:
Photography is a means for me to connect with the world and myself. To answer age-old question "Humankind, Who are we, where we come and where we're going"in my private way. Three major themes that I pursue is sex, politics and religion. I want to capture and create photos blend between reality and illusion, between traditional and contemporary. And I knew that: Ability of expression of the art of photography is limitless, but ability of artist is limited.

Cultural Bachelor degree in 1996. Trained by famous photographer as James Natchwey, Gary Knight, Tim Page, Steve Northup, Gaby Sommer…in workshop of IMMF (Indochinal Memory Media Found).

Currenly work as special reporter for Lao Động newspaper (one of the biggest newspapers in Viet Nam).
