Testimonials

"This is the homie, Canh. He’s got the eye. He takes photos.

LeftRight first made in-depth contact with Canh earlier this Summer (2008) on a trip to Portland with local non-profit organization and LeftRight familia, The Service Board. We got a chance to check out some photos he took, and since then, he’s been getting busy.

Nowadays, anybody can buy a camera and call themselves a “professional photographer,” but something still holds true to having the “photographers’ eye” and that natural talent - and Canh’s got it.

We’re excited to work with this kid."

"Canh Solo is a sharp and soulful photographer. In April, 2009, I went to Seattle to emcee the Annual Fundraising Gala for the Wing Luke Museum, and Canh was assigned to take the pictures. A day later I saw some of his work and was blown away.

Canh can...
Tell stories with a snap of his camera.
Understand light and composition with the eye of a true artist.
Capture a moment without disturbing the air.

He's extremely talented and I look forward to shooting with him again."

- Mark Dacascos

"Canh is about as close to a self-motivated learner as they come. He's deeply engaged in what he does and deeply reflective while doing it."

- Kim Mackay
