Freelance visual merchandiser - photographic services. Professional photographer Anh Dao Kolbe does not store her photos from a recent homecoming trip to Vietnam behind glass. Instead, she prefers framing them in black matte, a method she says gives her pictures an intimate feeling.

“There’s no barrier separating the people looking at the art from the art they’re looking at. They’re connected,” she notes.

Her philosophy of display is the same as her method of working: getting up close and using her camera as a conduit from her eye to the wonderfully vibrant prints she produces.
