It’s me, Linh Nguyen.

I’ve always had a desire to let my imagination run without borders and to create without rules. Portrait photography came naturally to me when I picked up my iPhone 7 and randomly invited my friends to small photoshoots in our free time or when they felt down. Since words do not come easily to me, I found solace in a more visual medium. Through photography, I strive to give people a mirror to reflect on how unique, precious, yet perfectly imperfect they are. When you don’t feel the best about yourself, let me be your mirror and show you how I see you.

I was inspired to finally start a portrait page on Instagram after witnessing the enthusiastic reactions of my friends upon seeing the photos I took of them. I did not know how simple pictures could be a powerful lift-me-up and help them embrace who they are. Being more than aware that we're living in the world where body dysphoria is a new plague, I strive to use this platform to convey a message that I had struggled to believe before - “conformed beauty is overrated”.

Make unique and natural beauty a new norm. 

As a portrait photographer, I’ve made a personal oath to capture individual’s beauty without major retouches. I hope to be able to help you see your own beauty in your very own way.
