PHOTOGRAPHY
Xai Thao
Hello, my name is Xai Thao. Ntxhais is my Hmong name given by my grandma. In Hmong, it means a daughter or a girl. In my culture it would be the name my spirit has chosen. Ntxhais Photography is focused on portraiture, fashion, and lifestyle. Most of my imagery is photographed in natural light and shows a bright, soft, colorful and feminine theme. Getting inspiration from others helps keep me going and deepens my love for photography. I hope that I’ll be able to inspire you through my photographs in that same way.
