Vogueさんのインスタグラム写真 - (VogueInstagram)「Photographer @luckango–who grew up within a Vietnamese family, but born and raised in the Czech Republic–has a unique eye when it comes to documenting the diasporic community of Asian women that surrounds her. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “It isn’t just my story, but also what I have in common with people in my photos,” Ngo says. “More than anything, the reason why I chose to do this is that I am just like them, and they are just like me. When I got to know all of them, I told myself, ‘If I am Lucka, who broke through and is still trying to break further through the traditional Asian mindset, I know they must be doing the same.’ ” But most importantly of all—and outside of the intricacies of their various overlapping cultures—to Ngo, these women represent something altogether more simple: “What they stand out for is the courage to be who they are, no matter what others say.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Above: Ngo writes, "A friend of mine recommended Jess to photograph, and so I reached out to her. Initially, we just met up for a coffee, but we ended up talking for hours. She shared her stories of fighting in competitions as an Asian woman, how people perceive her, and how important it is to have a strong and calm mentality. She told me that now, she’s learned not to let the opinions of other people distract her.” Tap the link in our bio to see more of Ngo’s photographs. Photographed by @luckango」7月27日 1時23分
