Ngoc Minh Ngo

“Ngoc Minh Ngo’s photographs are…objective representations of a subjective intuition conceived at a particular moment of day or the year, composed to inform and at the same time move the viewer.” Matteo Poli, Abitare Magazine

Ngoc's images have been published in such publications as The World of Interiors, T Magazine, Vogue, Architectural Digest, Cabana, and House & Garden UK. She is the author of three books, Bringing Nature Home: Floral Arrangements Inspired by Nature; In Bloom: Creating and Living with Flowers, and Eden Revisited: A Garden in Northern Morocco, all published by Rizzoli.

Her work has been the subject of a solo show at the Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Marrakech and Wave Hill Public Garden and Cultural Center in the Bronx, New York.

Ngoc received the Land Place Spirit Award from Longhouse Reserve in 2022.

“Eden Revisited is a poetic and dazzling work. New York photographer Ngoc Minh Ngo takes pictures that make you feel you are in the garden, or that you might touch or smell a flower. The author's descriptions are magical and passionate... The Eden of Rohuna is something beyond fashion; of course it is ravishing, but more importantly, the place contains the seeds of ideas about garden making that matter more than any precept about taste or style." —The Telegraph 

"In Bloom: Creating and Living with Flowers (Rizzoli) is the second book by Ngoc Minh Ngo on the topic of how aesthetically minded flower-loving individuals coexist with flora in their homes...With her resolutely nonliteral approach, Ngo takes her subject well beyond mere beauty and into the sublime."   Ted Loos

 Bringing Nature Home "is a sonnet to the seasons. It rejoices in the beauties particular to each, and to the immense joy to be had from paying witness to those changes, and of bringing its fruits into the home. That is the message of this book, made abundantly clear through Ngoc's text and the effect of her poetic photographs. But underlying that, her pictures also reveal her expansive appreciation for the variety of ways flowers have been used in different cultures and times in history."   Deborah Needleman
