More About Viet Ha Tran

Question IconWhat inspires you?

I am deeply inspired by Asian philosophy, English and French classic literature, European classic paintings, and mystic Persian poetry. I am also inspired by the fragile soul of women and landscapes. Photography has the power of immortalizing the moment and freezing the emotions and this intrigues me very much.

Question IconDescribe your creative process.

I enjoy very much the post-production process after photographs are already taken through a highly meticulous process of organizing a photoshoot which normally involves many people. During the post-production, I let my imagination fly without any limits into the kingdoms of philosophy, poetry, literature, arts and imagination. I feel as if I was painting my inner world, dreams and emotions, onto a digital canvas.

Question IconWhat are 3 words that best describe your work?

Romantic, feminine and deep in thought

Question IconWho are some artists that have influenced your work?

I am enchanted by rich colors as we see in the paintings of Rembrandt, Rubens and Italian Old Masters. I like light a lot, and in a way I want to revive the Old Master paintings through the current human beings and landscapes.

Question IconWhat is the most important tool when creating your work?

My imagination and inspiration by subjects of literature, poetry, history, myths and legends.

Question IconWhat is the best piece of advice you have been given?

Keep walking although you don´t know where you will end up to.

Question IconWhere do you go for inspiration?

Art museums, historical cities and cultural centers in different cities around the world.
