My name is Vincent Van Nguyen.
I take pictures for a living.
I started out modeling for a year then quickly realized that i wanted to be behind the camera. I have been into art all my life so photography was perfect. I worked my way practicing and teaching myself this art, and learning and am constantly improving. I am very adept with photoshop, I edit my pictures very well. I have shot at clubs such as Karma, Aqua, Escape, and my work has been featured in several magazines. I have moved up after a short period of time. I enjoy meeting new people, networking, and of course my passion for creating something more than just a picture.
I learn more and more everyday.
Every shoot, ever model, every setting, every light scheme,
and with every snap of the lens I can unveil lifes secrets.
Everyone has beauty in them its up to me to find it. I do prom, weddings, senior, baby, promotions, artistic, portfolio, fashion and of course glamour. No matter what you hire me to shoot I promise you will be satisfied with the result.

Somebody real...
There is so much more to me that people dont understand. You wouldnt understand me if you tried. Making people understand is seemingly inevitable but ya know, thats what life is about. Life isnt about money, success, fame, cars, diamonds, riches, or any other material possesions. Life is about love, making friendships, interaction, motivation, and doing something constructive with the time you are given. All of the money in the world doesnt mean a thing if you dont have a person to share it with. People will always come and go. Even lovers, best friends, and the people that matter to you most in life may not always be there. But in the end, youll know who really cares about you because they wil be the ones standing right by your side and everything else will simply become meaningless...
"As we get older, we learn that even the one person that wasn't suppose to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and its harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back........ LOVE ... isn't perfect. It isn't a fairytale or a storybook, and it doesn't always come easy. It is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges fighting to be together, holding on and never letting go. We think about it, dream about it, lose sleep worrying about it. When we don't have it, we search for it; when we discover it, we fear losing it; it is the constant source of pleasure and pain. But we can't predict which it will be from one moment to the next. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define, impossible to live without...Love is work, but most of all, love is realizing that every hour, every minute, every second of it was worth it because you did it ... together."
