Maybe it’s a good thing that the modern viewer’s eye is forced to jump back and forth on the screen so often, because otherwise it would drown in the permanent optical flood. Of course, that would be more of a drowning in the shallow, in the visually foamy, which replaces depth with uniform and digitally sugar-coated aesthetics. Michael Nguyen’s pictures are different: With his photographs, he manages to give the eyes a reason to linger, “by creating clarity in vision and a challenge in interpretation through reduction and emphasis,” as Rainer Funke,...

Artistic photography today moves quite differently than it did just a few decades ago as a visual force and communicative intervention in the midst of an overflowing glut of images whose production, management, and dissemination have long since gotten out of hand with conscientious control. After film, television, and computers, the smartphone in particular has catapulted us into a new image age. Often the challenge is to give the eyes an occasion to linger between their unsteady jumps from image to image. Michael Nguyen succeeds excellently in creating such an occasion with his photographs...

Michael Nguyen is a street and documentary photographer living near Munich, Germany. He is also the co-founder of Tagree Magazine. We asked him a few questions about his life and work: All About Photo: What is your background? I do not have any formal educational background in photography. Medical nursing was my vocation. While working in the intensive care unit and the emergency room, I was confronted with great suffering and death. This certainly had an impact on my photographic work. Many of my photos, as one can see, are melancholic and sometimes a little bit dark. All About...

Light and reflections are interdependent and essential to Nguyen's photographs. He succeeds in capturing magical and unique moods. Reflective surfaces, cool materials, clear, reduced forms encourage reflection and exploration. Looking into a reflection opens up new and different perspectives. The viewer is invited to look very closely. There is much to discover. We can only see ourselves through reflections. In the mirror, on water, and on every shiny surface. The truth is, our reflections are coming from anything that reflects light, which is everything not completely dark. So we see...

Roadside encounters: photo exhibition at Bosco Gauting-based photo poet Michael Nguyen has captured the great emptiness of the pandemic and much more. His pictures are now on display at Bosco.

These pictures were taken by the Gauting photo poet and Klinge Prize winner...

Life behind the facade: Gauting-based photographer Michael Nguyen shows photographs at the Culture Centre Bosco that depict roadside motifs in unexpected beauty. The first photo at the top of the stairs at Bosco in Gauting looks like an illusion. There seem to be trees and a diving tower suspended at the top, but then the viewer recognises the reflection in the water of the large pool in the Gauting summer pool. Photographer Michael Nguyen deliberately chose this image from the ongoing series "By the roadside" / "Heimat Gauting: Am Straßenrand" as the prelude to...

COMIC ART is the umbrella term for everything in the art that is funny, that makes the viewer laugh. This applies in particular to caricature. Among other things, Rainer Lafeld has been painting and drawing for years: Landscapes, especially people or their portraits.  It was in 2017 that he encountered the master of comic art of Frank Hoppmann in his extraordinary works, He was the muse that kissed Lafeld. "Enthusiastically, he began to engage me in caricature."

An abandoned industrial area in the south-west of the Bavarian capital of Munich, captured during the coronavirus pandemic by the German photographer Michael Nguyen .

In his ongoing series BY THE ROADSIDE the photographer illustrates the fact that we can see beauty even within ugliness. We can do so by keeping our eyes open and viewing everyday life through the eyes of someone wandering along the...

When will the containers be loaded? Such a question comes to mind when approaching the shopping mall built in 2008 from a distance. But stop! The intense colors of the seemingly stacked cubes and their sophisticated composition immediately give rise to other associations. As if someone had created a special order out of building blocks. One wonders whether this is already the perfect final state, as one tries to create with the Magic Cube, for example.The variety of combinations seems too great for this. Both that of the colors and that of the surface structures. Added to this are the...

His photographs show us buildings, streets, staircases, vehicles, and people of the kind we might come across at any time by chance in our everyday lives.

In this way, they unfold the power of the Particular: Something familiar, but exactly like this we have not seen things before. Nguyen likes to play with...
