Behind the lens

Meet Phuong N.

Photographer, light chaser, storyteller

Backlight Photography is rooted in quiet observation and intentional guidance. Phuong brings a calm energy to each session, helping people feel at ease so their personalities shine through every frame.

Purposeful direction

I'll gently direct you into flattering, natural poses that still feel like you. Expect movement, laughter, and prompts that help you loosen up.

Genuine moments

My work seeks out in-between gestures: a glance, a thoughtful pause, the way light catches hair in motion. These are the details that make imagery unforgettable.

Tailored experience

From location scouting to wardrobe notes, every shoot is personalized. I'll guide you through prep and deliver a collection that mirrors your vision.
