Linh Pham is a Vietnamese photographer based between Hanoi and New York. His work focuses on the experiences of underrecognized communities in the Lower Mekong region, tracing the often overlooked effects of climate crises, social transformations, rapid economic growth, and geopolitical tensions. Informed by his background in modern art and design, Linh uses deliberate visual strategies to build long-form narratives around these changes.
Although his assignments take him internationally, Linh often returns to stories shaped by Vietnam’s past and present. Since 2013, he has documented a wide range of subjects, including the disappearance 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 National Geographic Explorer and a frequent contributor to The New York Times, with his work widely published across international publications and platforms.
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. His photographs were part of The New York Times staff reporting awarded the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting.
