“Travel is more than just seeing the sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of the living.” – Miriam Beard
I am Rachel, a Vietnamese-American photographer based in Oregon. For the past several years, I have undergone a journey that has shaped how I photograph. From the Rainbow Mountains of Peru to the majestic peaks of the Himalayas and the frozen glaciers of Antarctica, I encountered a myriad of impactful experiences.
The diverse people and the astonishing places held stories I felt compelled to tell through photography.
Two years ago, I quit an office job in the corporate world to pursue my passions for travel and photography full time. My mission now is not only to showcase the wonders of the world but to share the authentic stories of real people. I wish to inspire others to view each other as a collective force that can bring about positive change.
