Early Life
Thien La was born and raised in Vietnam, where he spent the majority of his childhood. At 13-years old, his father's industrial line of work relocated the family to Los Angelos, California. This is where Thien began his early studies in history, music and fine arts. Through the progression of his high-quality work, Thien started with a Cannon 40D. For many reasons, that he will not share, he now prefers to use a Hasselblad H5D 200c. Stay tuned, one of these days... We promise we'll drag out of him his secret sauce for all of his stellar shots!Much can be said about Thien La. He has a great appreciation and affinity for antiquities. His vintage collection from all over the world is truly something to marvel at, as each piece holds a story of his travels. All the while, any true car collecting fanatic would be envious of Mr. La's collection of Ferarris, Lamborghinis, and 1900 classics.
