About The Author

A diverse upbringing in Taiwan, Argentina, Chile and the United States inspired Nana Chen's passions for architecture, design and music. Camera in hand, she seeks out the hidden melodies in everyday life. This approach is reflected in her recent works, including Hiraeth: Photographs of Chungking Mansions; Discarded, a still life series on demolished sites in Ho Chi Minh City; and From War Babies to Billionaires, a portrait series on Vietnam’s ultra-rich women. Her work has been featured in Observer Magazine (UK), Gallery & Studio (NYC), Marie Claire (14 editions), and la Repubblica (Italy). Nana divides her time between Vietnam, Thailand and Europe.
