PORTFOLIO: SEPIA & TONING

Juni 23, 2018Februar 19, 2019 Michael Nguyen

Sepia photographs are usually with reddish-brown color over the entire image surface and have a reduced color gamut. Sepia in photography is often to achieve the effect of aging pictures, reminding of the past. In my work, the use of sepia is restraint to a part of the canvas and in harmony with the blue tint. It conveys consequently the gradient shift of time, going backward from present to a distant past.

THE WORLD AND EVERYONE WE HAVEN’T KNOWN (IN THIS LIFE)
Photographs

On the streets, in the museum, on the river banks, in the woods, underground. We meet them everywhere. We don’t talk to them, we just watch them doing whatever they are doing. We don’t ask ourselves what they are thinking or what their lives are like. We just like those moments and capture these. Because we want them in our memories. And maybe those people are not strangers. Maybe we know them in other lives. The woman in front of the new-stand could be our mother. The homeless man could be our husband. The girls in the lunch break could be our sisters. Maybe someday we know them again in this life or the life after. But right now we miss them.

WITH THE THIRD EYE OF A WANDERER THROUGH THE VISUAL ADVENTURE OF LIFE
FotoArt

At his core, Michael Nguyen is an artist, not a photographer but more a photographic poet or something he himself could not define. He moves away from the mainstream, at the same time blurs genres. Most of the time, he focuses on small, ordinary things but through the subjective lens, give them new perspectives, a new soul. Michael Nguyen’s photography is the art of showing more than you can see. Making visible – worshipping the invisible, he walks with the third eye of a wanderer through the visual adventure of life.
