Hi, my name is An Le. I am Vietnamese and an INFJ. I just turned 21. I have been taking pictures for almost four years now and I just love it. hehe

***I think I will have my own website soon!!! Where nobody can comments, discuss, and so on. I know it all comes out of the interest in my works. I am grateful for that. It is just me, I don't want to check things everyday to see how many comments I get. Sounds silly but it is a natural tendency that the more comments you get, the more you will think that people like your work. Then the less comments you get, you will think: "Well, people don't like my work anymore?!!!!" I want to make art, to play with my imagination and creativity. I don't want to let other external elements such as quantity of comments, pageviews, getting in explore (selected by computer!!! How could it know about the meanings behind the photograph, the symbols, the metaphors which all take the photograph itself into a whole new level) and all that silly things affect my mind. Because if you make art to have a lot of comments and agreement from others, you are no longer an artist in my opinion; or getting depressed or arrogant just because of the condemns and praises of others about your work. A true artist has to trust his own vision and imagination. For a while, I feel like I have slipped; I was sucked into the race of comments, of testimonials, of pageviews, of explore, of everything that seems so genuinely normal and positive. But I must give up on that race now before I lose myself. hahaha. :)

Well, if you did take time to read all those thought from above and arrive at this line, thank you and please don't mind me. Those are just my raw thoughts, haven't been beautified. And I did not want to offend anyone. Just want to pour it out what have been bugging me!!!

Sincerely

An

P.S. I truly appreciate all of your comments and messages and everything from before. Thank you!!!****

joshbrowne86 says:

"I have been following An's work for quite sometimes now and have been always a fan. He possesses such an immense talent and wonderful eye for photography. His photographs are well thought-out, meticulously composed, and skillfully post-processed. I love love love his conceptual works. They are so creative, deep, profound and refreshing. Not what you usually see or expect to see on flickr or any other site. His photographs are on a class of their own. I can stare at them for hours and whenever I see them again, I see or realize something new and meaningful for myself. I still cannot believe he is only 18. His thoughts are so mature and wise. I wish i had a chance to converse with him someday. It must be very interesting. What a great, phenomenal artist! Thank you An for sharing your wonderful work!"

"An Le (jackbritboy) es un artista de lujo que tiene un ESTILO muy definido a la hora de presentar sus OBRAS de ARTE en su galeria.

Domina muy bien el arte de la FOTOGRAFÍA y también el procesado de las imágenes.

Aparte, tiene un gusto exquisito en la composición de sus obras.
Las s modelos que usa para su CREACIÓN siguen a rajatabla el plan que les ha preparado de antemano, para proyectar lo que se supone que quiere de ellas.

Un ARTISTA que me ha encontrado antes él a mí.

Gracias por tu consideración. Eres un MAESTRO de la fotografía."

"An is tremendously talented. He can make magic with his camera. For someone as young as he is, his work is significantly above the rest. There are not many people here I can even compare him to, because he's just in a different league of his own. His concepts are like none other I've ever seen. his work is delicate and evokes a sense of fantasy. It's easy to tell that he puts a great deal of thought into his art, which sets him apart from everyone. I have a great deal of respect for An and I'm certain that he will be a very famous artist one day. An, thank you for the inspiration."

"Your photography is excellent. Hard to believe that at your age you could posses such a perspective and creativity in the art of photography. Even with post-processing you manage to portrait amazing compositions. I guess you must be a natural talent and I hope you continue this path where you’ll reach high places and personal satisfaction. I thank you for sharing your art and to me is a valuable learning book in technique and creativity."
