Leia maisDetailsShannon Dinh (Collagewise) is a former film student from Vietnam who traded moving images for still ones. She finds beauty in the everyday and seeks out fleeting moments of tenderness, capturing life in its most subtle form. A bold maker with a quiet mind.
She began taking photos before fully understanding what photography was. It started as instinct —a way to hold onto moments she couldn’t explain or knew she’d soon forget. Over the years, she explored other creative paths—from dance and playwriting to media production—but always returned to photography. It offers a kind of discovery and reflection that feels most aligned with how she experiences the world.
Her approach is closely tied to the name she works under: Collagewise. It reflects how she sees both photography and life—not as fixed or absolute, but layered, fragmented, and always shifting. Shannon works with a range of gear and enjoys how different tools push her to see and shoot in new ways. She’s drawn to real-world creativity, especially the ways access, limitation, and routine shape the stories we tell.
