Viet Chu is an artist, technologist, market trader, investor, and world traveler. He finds beauty in moments in life in all that he does and captures them in his photography...His work is a reflection of its journey and experiences.
In his approach to capture an image, he utilizes traditional and non-traditional means of lighting and infuse it with an intuitive sensibility, which is then converged with emotional intelligence to create a simple net composition of shadows and light, of subject and background, of space and inter-space...all with the goal of stopping a moment of time that tells a story for the rest of time.
In his own words
What makes the image complex is that sometimes the shadow is the light I seek, the background is the subject I see, and the nothingness of inter-space is what I leverage to inspire the desired tension that holds together the elasticity of visual perception. The relationship between a photographer and his image is a very fluid dynamic that constantly shifts and expands. It is within these moments of transition...the flux within and between creativity and creation, that I find my passion.
What I seek is pure and simple . I only want to share my perspective on the beauty of people, life and things. You see, we all perceive them uniquely through our own personal prism and filter, and so I hope these images will impress you, if only for a moment to reflect...and embrace the flux.
