ABOUT ME
MADDY NGUYEN
PHOTOGRAPHER
CORPUS CHRISTI / AUSTIN, TEXAS
I am a Vietnamese-Chinese-American born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas. I graduated in May 2022 from The University of Texas at Austin, where I majored in public relations and double-minored in business + media and entertainment industries.
​
Some fun facts about me, in case you were curious:
- I like to think of myself as a foodie, despite being allergic to almost everything under the sun.
- I went to a Jewish preschool. I'm Buddhist.
- I make very good cornbread and green bean casserole, so I'm a real star at Friendsgiving potlucks.
- I love to sing. My go-to karaoke songs are "Zombie" by The Cranberries or "Valerie" by Amy Winehouse, but I'm trying to bring "Mercy" by Duffy into my repertoire.
- My photography journey started when I was 11 years old and took photos of potted flowers at Home Depot with my mom's iPhone 3GS.
- When I was 12, I upgraded to my very own iPhone 4S and took photos of my friends in my backyard.
- After I received A honor roll in the 7th grade, I was rewarded with my first DSLR camera, a Nikon D3200.
- After graduating college, I was gifted with my second DSLR camera, a Nikon D810. Now here we are!
