He is a frequent contributor to The New York Times, National Geographic Magazine, TIME, Bloomberg and Getty Images amongst others, and his work has been published across platforms worldwide.
In 2016, Linh co-founded Matca, a platform dedicated to archiving and sharing contemporary Vietnamese photographic works. He was named as one of the talents from Southeast Asia and Oceania by World Press Photo in 2019 and he joined the 2022 World Press Photo Contest as a juror.
