Nhan Tran (Nhàn) is a Vietnamese documentary storyteller working across photography and film. Her long-term work follows women and communities navigating migration, labour, and belonging across Southeast Asia, from highland girls entering adulthood early to families living without legal recognition.
Working through relationships built over time, she observes how uncertainty shapes everyday decisions, care, and intimacy. Moving between still and moving images, her practice explores prolonged states of waiting, transition, and quiet resilience.
Her work has been commissioned and published by Le Monde, The Times, Associated Press, Licas News, and The Polis Project. She is a member of Women Photograph, VII Academy alumni, and a National Geographic Society grantee.
Based in Ho Chi Minh City, she is available for editorial and NGO assignments across Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
