About
Director / Director of Photography based in Vietnam. A graduate of Vietnam's top art academy, I've spent over a decade in the film industry, working across nearly every role on a crew — an experience that shaped my own visual language. My ambition is simple: to touch the minds and emotions of viewers through images, and to make them forget the existence of the creator entirely.
My Approach
Every image is the culmination of knowledge, experience, and relentless refinement. It's about keeping the flame of passion alive, even after decades in the industry — there's no such thing as a perfect product, only the next lesson. To me, a great image maker is someone who makes viewers believe they're witnessing something completely genuine.
Directorial Universe
After more than a decade in the film industry, I've had the opportunity to experience nearly every position on a film crew. That journey shaped my own style and perspective on visual storytelling. For me, creating an image is more than making something impressive — it's about crafting a tool that can shift how people see the world.
