Hey! My name is Philip Vu, I'm 21, and I'm the founder of VOUSE Agency. As a Senior and Business Administration Teaching Assistant at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, majoring in Marketing with a minor in International Business in the Gies College of Business, I also love contributing as a Getty Images Photographer since August 2025. I'm a self-taught photographer and marketer and have been taking photos for organizations and working with media for nearly a decade, and more specifically, enjoy working on fashion, creative campaigns, & editorial media.
Recently, my work has been featured on @uiucreach, Celebrity Chef @mingtsai, @brightworksproducts, @joongboomarket, @onlyhydration, @jewelosco, @fat.sandwich.company, @gyukakujbbq, @deardonutscafe, @shipshewanaindiana, @panartesanalchicago, @leostacostruck, @blackgirlmagicwines, @woltersworld, @millcrosscoffee, @mapleleafcoffeehousestc, @bobahouse.il, @cruizin.app, & @amaillinois
I first started as the lead photographer and editor for the yearbook during my freshman year of high school, and have now grown to collaborate with businesses and organizations through social media and content design in college. I was previously the Creative Director for the University of Illinois' chapter of the American Marketing Association (the first collegiate chapter in the nation) and the Chapter President and previous Chief Creative Officer (CCO) for our renowned Midwest chapter of REACH, a premier social media organization, as well.
I enjoy sharing personal stories through imagery and media. I approach marketing with a focus on personal, brand, and media marketing development, firmly believing in our responsibility to transparently convey a brand or person's identity. All of VOUSE's services are designed to be all about YOU and what YOU want! Not only as a client, but as a person.
How do YOU want to share your story? I'm always happy to hear, and even more happy to capture that moment.
