Hey there, I’m Kim-Yen Nguyen. I’m a photographer working and living in Odense, Denmark.
My name is Kim-Yen Nguyen, and I have a master’s degree in Linguistics and Psychology from the University of Southern Denmark and the University of Copenhagen. I use photography to tell stories of everyday life and portrait memories of people.
From life itself, I have learned the lessons of the Thomas Theorem "if mankind define situations as real, they are real in their consequences". I sincerely wish with our stories that we reflect on our existence and the way we define it.
This is the basic core of my work and all the collaborations with different participants.
“if mankind define situations as real, they are real in their consequences”
- Thomas Theorem
I prefer black & white in photography as it leaves the spectator with imagination on the images colors, origins and moods. My favorite method is the minimalistic approach to put out all noises - often only with lights and pozing.
As a photographer, I’m very dependent on my eyes, but as a visual artist it is crucial that my imagination never leaves my body. Eyes are for technical adjustments. Imaginations are for deep dives and chasing the hidden images beyond.
Exaggeration is yelling. Less is more.
