“As a travel photographer, it’s so important for me to be able to capture amazing images on the go, while still being able to enjoy the moment,” explains Nguyen. “The best camera really is the one that you have on you, and I always carry Sony’s Xperia 5 II with me wherever I go. It’s a powerful piece of equipment that allows me to create and also tell engaging stories. I carry it with me in addition to my Sony Alpha camera as another photography tool.”
