Most of the time, Michael Nguyen focuses on small, ordinary things but through the subjective lens, he give them new perspectives, a new soul. “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.”
Michael Nguyen is a “publicity shy” (Merkur daily newspaper Munich) photographic poet and artist who moves away from the mainstream, at the same time blurs genres.
He is co-founder of the online photography and art magazine: Tagree and was its editor-in-chief for many years.
Michael Nguyen is member of FREELENS - Professional Association of Photojournalists, Germany.
Series „By the roadside“: Licenses for editorial use exclusively available via Visura.
The photographs of Michael Nguyen are available exclusively as Fine Art Prints from the online Gallery Artmajeur, Paris.
“With my architectural photography, I am on the search for the aesthetic qualities of buildings in their urban spatial effect. Above all, I am interested in the visual richness of detail in its compositional diversity and its strangeness. The most unadulterated, neutral documentation of buildings for sales and presentation purposes is not part of my work, nor is the creation of marketable references for architectural firms. Nor are they photographs that depict a building in its ideal state to increase the market value of the building in question. With my very own passion for buildings, I strive, as an artistic architectural photographer, to interpret reality and give a new soul to the appearance of buildings through love, enthusiasm, and desire. In doing so, I deliberately interpret what I photograph subjectively and situationally, having walked around a building over and over again in different weather and lighting situations.“
