Phạm Ngọc Lân was born in Hanoi, Vietnam and studied urban design and urban planning from 2004 to 2009 at Hanoi Architecture University (HAU). Inspired by the paradox of all living things, Lan considers himself an
urban life observer rather than a photographer or an urban designer. Using photography and film as two favourite tools to express his ideas, his work attaches special importance to the direct, poetic and especially the whimsical respects of
human life. [↗]
