Michael Nguyen is a photo artist and documentary photographer who moves away from the mainstream, at the same time blurs genres. In addition to his artistic work, he is editor-in-chief of TAGREE, the Online Magazine for Photography and Art.
“Michael Nguyen is a photographic poet whose lens is trained on the small and ordinary, but through his subjective perspective, he transforms them into something extraordinary, imbuing them with a new soul. His photography is a masterful art form, revealing more than meets the eye and elevating the invisible to a place of worship. As a wandering visual adventurer, Michael sees the world through a third eye, capturing the essence of life in every shot.”
