Vivian Fu was born in the San Fernando Valley, colloquially known as simply "The Valley," and commonly regarded as the porn capital of the world. She was introduced to photography by her father, an engineer with a penchant for photographing wild flowers and parades. Feeling a disconnect from the pictures her father took, she was compelled to make her own. Her early references were flickr stars who photographed their daily lives, and later while attending the University of California Santa Cruz, she was introduced to the canonical fine art photographers. These references are apparent in Fu's work, as it equally dips into the messy snapshot and the more formal photo. Fu’s work deals with the romantics of “the everyday”. She is constantly investigating the parameters of her relationships and the link between food and sex. Vivian currently lives and works in San Francisco where she is pursuing a career as an artist.
