Born in Vietnam and raised in Japan, Amy Nguyen is known for her creative skills as well as her musical talents.

Growing up with an artistic family, Amy has always known her life's work would surround the creative arts. In fact, family and friends were often her guinea pigs to practice her hobbies in photography and digital designing. Her band also played a major part in her life and she was always booked to sing at weddings and corporate events.
It was not until she did work with Real Live Models at the Toronto Import Festival that Amy took photography seriously.
"It was during that time, I realized the world of photography is something I had to pursue and since then have not looked back."

Her academic background with honours include Graphic Design specializing in Digital Art Technology, Creative Designer and Photoshop Wizard.

Her experience with Model Mayhem network, Flickr online photography networks, various magazine companies, professional models and artists has built her portfolio to be nothing short of masterpieces. Her passion and dedication to work with highly detailed images and digital retouching
has led many referrals from trusted clients.

Amy is available to shoot indoor, outdoor, glamour, beauty, creative family portraits, editorials, and weddings. Her creative approach sometime includes creative makeup application and hair up-do & styling. What would usually take a team of 3 or more to do, Amy has mastered her talents to cover it all!

    "I have known Amy for well over a decade and in that time she has consistently impressed me with her creative drive, her incredible personality, and her quite evident talents. More than just a talented photographer, Amy has excellent graphic arts skills and ideas and even has been known to sing a song or two back in the day!

    But I guess I should talk about her photographic skills here, so, what is amazing to me about Amy's photography is that she is able to achieve so much with minimal equipment, lighting, etc. Her photos always come out so clear, with interesting use of lighting and framing of her images. Add to those, great photoshop skills and Amy has the minimalist technical side of things down to a fine science.

    What is really her strongpoint though is how she puts her subjects at ease and is able to convey their emotions through her shots. If you look through her photolibrary and watch the progression, she is certainly turning into quite the portrait specialist. Her latest work done with the model "Connie" is simply great and could be used either in marketing, advertising or as straight portrait material. I expect great things from Amy in the field of Photography over time as she learns more, experiments more and gets more comfortable behind the camera.

    Reminder Amy.....get in front of the camera more when you have time. Your unique charm and personality always shines through in your own images. It is a shame you don't take more of those.

    I feel blessed to know Amy as a close friend, and I hope anyone who is lucky enough to work with her cherishes the experience!"

    "It is a great pleasure to be able to work the Amy (A2 Creative). She brings a very outgoing and professional mood into the photo shoots which brings the best out of her models.

    Aside from the great personality and mood she provides, her work is unique and one of a kind. It is surprsing to see how one pose can be shot in so many different ways and turned into a work of art.

    I look forward to work with you behalf of SINsation Models, and wish that our parternship will be as great as the work you provide.
