• Biography
  Michael Nguyen is a “publicity shy” (Merkur daily newspaper Munich) photo artist, a photographic poet who moves away from the mainstream, at the same time blurs genres. "Most of the photos could only be taken because Nguyen has a special eye for his surroundings and gives even the mundane a second view." (Süddeutsche Zeitung) "With my camera, I capture little things that we often don't notice in everyday life. I also like to observe people and photograph them in everyday situations“.
