​Matca, or ‘Mắt Cá’ in Vietnamese, directly translates to ‘Fisheye’. The fisheye lens provides an ultra-wide angle view. In the same vein, Matca, as a collective, strives to turn a wide lens on an increasingly overlooked community of Vietnamese photographers so to reveal, if you will, the bigger picture.

My position as the editor at Matca involves curating photographic works, connecting with people working in the industry, asking questions and inviting discussion.
