About your instructor, Khoa Tony Nguyen.
I’m a passionate landscape and nightscape photographer with an appreciation for capturing minimalist, serene scenes and the quiet beauty of the natural world. I’m especially drawn to star-filled skies and the subtle glow of the moon, and my work reflects a calm, minimalist approach to photography.
By day, I work as a primary school teacher, and photography is my creative outlet and a space where I can express my creativity through my lens. I often spend long nights under the stars, chasing the Milky Way and continually refining my craft in moon and night sky photography.
Through my work and workshops, I aim to inspire others to slow down, look up, and discover the beauty found in both vast landscapes and the smallest details above.
