Jack Huynh
Jack truly lives up to the idiom “jack of all trades.” As a co-founder of Orange, he spends most of his time leading the team and building the behind-the-scenes operations that make a sustainable business.
He still steps into the photographer’s role often, and has shot many high-profile events and portraits. While his experience is wide-ranging, portraiture and custom stock projects are what he enjoys most.

Beyond the Cushion
Jack’s long-term portrait and video project explores Buddhism in modern America. It pairs portraits with in-depth interviews with lay practitioners from many lineages, focusing on transformation, practice beyond formal meditation, and how Buddhism is adapting to contemporary life.

Practice run at Wat Hua Lamphong after a long travel day. 📷
This is only part of the kit. The rest of the cases are video gear for interviews and production in Gelephu, Bhutan, for Project 108 (link in bio).
The street setup is one body, one lens: Fujifilm X-T5 + XF 23mm f/2.
The surprise is the iPhone 17 Pro with a Fjorden grip. It makes the phone ready for street photography and brings the feel of a real camera to it.
Also in the Think Tank Retrospective 7: XF 90mm f/2 · XF 35mm f/1.4 · Ulanzi MT-44 · DJI Neo 2, a game changer for travel selfies.

A quick update from behind the scenes.
This past year I`ve been quietly building Beyond the Cushion: a redesigned website, a small creative and technical team, and new ways to explore the stories of the practitioners I`ve photographed and interviewed. I also spent more than three months on the road and completed several retreats with my teacher.
Next week I head to Asia for about a month, starting in Bhutan for Project 108, then on to Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand.
We`re about to launch a social media campaign for the project. If you`d like to follow along, please follow @beyondthecushion.

While the eye candy of fall is nice bonus, the nippy weather is good for the practice and soul. On my way to iconic hike in the area and stopped by the same spot coming in and out. It was a pretty amazing hike to say the least. #colorfulcolorado #ouray
Can’t decide on what concept of fall I want to lean into today.
Second time in this little gateway mountain town. Did a nice trail run before melting in the hot spring. #orvishotsprings
I don`t spend a lot of time with my night photography, but I`m surprised by the different perspective it provides.
The illusion of the curated life. Even a homemade meal perpetuates the notion that I live a blessed life and it is true on a conventional level. But on the ultimate level, it means I can’t have the cake and eat it too. The more successful we are in samsara,the tighter the handcuff becomes. Alas the dance of the paradox of the spiritual path.
Wrapping up my time in Aspen. Since the weather didn’t cooperate I did only one hike to Maroon Bells and I didn’t realize it was bit of a tourist spot. Glad I finally got to check out Aspen but quite pricey and touristy for my taste. Plenty of other great places in Colorado without the sting.
