info

Danny Luong is an emerging photographer based in Moh’kinsstis on traditional Treaty 7 land (Calgary, Alberta.) Luong holds a BA in journalism from Mount Royal University and works to represent landed East-Asian migrants and refugees through personal documentary.

Luong is interested in ancestral lineages and the effects of history on generations of migrants. With an emphasis on duality, Luong’s graphic style recalls both snapshots and gritty photojournalism from a mix of medium format, 35mm, and digital stills. Luong’s subjects emphasize the tribulations of generations, shared cultural values and the effects of displacement on first and second generation Canadian lives.

Luong won an emerging photographer award at the Exposure Photo Festival in 2023 which was exhibited at Contemporary Calgary for his work ‘we were growers’. Luong has shown work with Art Toronto, Alberta Society of Artists, Arts Commons, Asian Heritage Foundation Calgary and was selected to be part of the Exposure Studio Collective. In 2024, Luong was a recipient of a Canada Council for the Arts Project to Realization grant for work on a solo show at The Bows artist run centre in Calgary for 2025.
