Vietnamese by origin and residing in Madrid, she is known for her emotionally dense photographs, with women as protagonists. Instead of just taking pictures, she tries to paint female emotions, inner dreams, intimacy, poetry and philosophy with her camera. This photographer is strongly influenced by romanticism. Her snapshots are taken with meticulous detail, extracting from the feminine feeling and intimacy, the reality of dreams, pure photographic poetry. Her photos, besides having a classic air of paintings, capture an ephemeral moment, of feminine emotions flowing through the river of time. As reality plays hide and seek with fantasy, it is a reflection of the volatile states engraved in the permanent change. Beginning photography in 2013, her works have been published in over 120 different magazines and newspapers worldwide - Expansion, El Economista, Vogue Italia, Vogue Talents, Artsy, Vanity Fair France, Vietnam News, Harper's Bazaar Vietnam, The Hindu, Conde Nast Traveler China, The Times of India, in Saatchi Gallery London, and were auctioned by Christie Hong Kong for charity. He is listed as an international artist by Artprice, the world leader in art market information, and represented by Art+Commerce / Vogue Italia - a joint project of the world's largest photo agency based in New York and the prestigious Vogue Italia.
She was a semi-finalist in the Spanish National Digital Photography Competition 2013, and won Honorable Mentions at the International Photography Awards in 2013, Los Angeles, USA. She was invited by Vogue Italia to photograph for Vogue Talents in 2014. Later the same year, in 2014, her works appeared in Brighton Foto Biennale, the most important photography festival in the UK. Currently, her works are acquired and admired by various collectors around the world, including galleries, auction houses, art dealers, luxury hotels, and individual collectors.
