Born to Vietnamese parents in Paris, France, Quang-Tuan Luong came to the United States and attained a degree in artificial intelligence. Along the way, he also picked up such an affinity for rock climbing that he chose to complete his graduate work in California to be near Yosemite. Spending time there inspired him to photograph every national park in the U.S., which caught the attention of Ken Burns who used Luong’s images for his new film, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.
