Linh Pham is a Vietnamese photographer based in Hanoi, Vietnam. His work focuses on the experiences of underrecognized communities in the Lower Mekong region, examining the often overlooked impacts of climate crises, social transformations, rapid economic growth, and geopolitical tensions. Informed by his background in modern art and design, Linh employs deliberate visual strategies to explore these critical issues.
Although his assignments take him internationally, Linh often returns to stories shaped by Vietnam’s past and present. Since 2013, he has documented diverse narratives, including the extinction of the Mekong giant catfish, underground motorcycle culture surrounding Soviet-era Minsk bikes, the pressures of privatization faced by ethnic communities in remote mountainous regions, intercontinental human trafficking, and territorial tensions affecting coastal communities in the South China Sea.
Linh is a frequent contributor to The New York Times, National Geographic Magazine, TIME, Bloomberg, and Getty Images, with his work widely published across platforms worldwide.
In 2016, Linh co-founded Matca, an independent platform dedicated to archiving and promoting Vietnamese photography through exhibitions, publications, and educational initiatives.
He was named among Southeast Asia and Oceania’s talents by World Press Photo in 2019 and served as a juror for the World Press Photo Contest in 2022. In 2024, Linh received the Explorer Grant from the National Geographic Society to further his long-term project addressing water scarcity in Vietnam’s Mekong River Delta.
