My name is Cuong Lai and I was born in the fall of 1985 in Hanoi, Vietnam. I am presently a freelance photographer based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I have been fascinated with the art of photography for as long as I can remember. Some images that I encounter during my everyday’s life give me special feelings that prompt me to capture them as quickly as possible. Whether it is a smile, a market scene, or a natural setting, I feel joy being able to preserve those moments of time with my camera. Starting out as a hobby, photography has now become my fervent passion. Always trying to learn and willing to share, I hope my pictures will bring out beautiful emotions in people and leave them with everlasting memories.
