Long Nguyen Email & Phone Number

I started photography for a selfish reason, finding a way to give me the chance to explore the world. However, the more I go, the more stories I heard. So many unique people with desire, fear, inspire stories that I feel the responsibility to share. Even though, I chose photography as my career from the beginning. I got in a car accident on the day of the examination of the university I apply for photography. Life brings me to a big decision, I only have two choices at the moment, literature or computer programming. I decided that I don't want to stay in the office coding all day, so I give up the scholarship from the FPT University for the computer sciences. Literature created for me the foundation I am so proud till this day. After a year, I reapplied and somehow managed to study in both universities at the same time with photography and literature. When I almost graduated with the literature degree (1 course left and a graduation essay) in two and a half years, I received a full scholarship with a living fee for 4 years to study in America. So I came to Webster University, started a new page in my life. The world to me even in this technology and science era is still a mystery book. As my favorite master of photography, Alex Webb write in his book "Street Photography and the Poetic Image" - Ultimately, we believe that if you have faith in your photography, it will eventually take you where you need to go - whatever bus you get on.
