Garden People: Ngoc Minh Ngo - photographer, author

My guest today is Ngoc Minh Ngo, a photographer and author based in New York City.&nbsp; Her work is an immersive exploration of the beauty of plants and nature, enveloping and other worldly.&nbsp; I always feel I am being drawn into a more three-dimensional space. It is an almost tactile experience as the garden wraps around you and where you can disappear into the page.&nbsp; No matter what she captures, it often seems as though I am looking at my own memory of a space or plant, whether or not I have seen it before.&nbsp; Her creative expression stretches not only through different gardens and subjects – this year alone she photographed gorgeous books by Gabriela Salazar and Umberto Pasti, and authored one on the green spaces of New York to be released next month – she also experiments with other media.&nbsp; I can see how these practices, along with her own garden, give her a deeper understanding of her subjects and allow her to reveal their beauty and essential nature.&nbsp; I am so grateful to have her work to transport and inspire me, and to share this conversation with you.
