Nobody has mastered the use of light as much as this well-known photographer. Tran's works stand out in so many genres, that she separated them into 5 different accounts, all worth following. @kathytranx is her lifestyle profile, @kathytran.eats features delectable food photography, @kathytranxx is for her portraits, @kathytran.love is for weddings, engagements and family shoots, and our personal favorite, @moreweedthanwoman which showcases art featuring cannabis, and in the most creative of ways.
