 A set of 20
photos highlighting environmental issues has earned Hoang
Quoc Tuan the title of master photographer from the
Federation of International Artistic Photography (FIAP).
Tuan said a
desire to awaken people to take action for a better future
environment, which has been seriously degraded by humans,
inspired him to make the set of photos that earned him his
new title.
His photo
collection - “Su tran tro ve moi truong” (Concern of the
Environment), which he conceived over a period of nine
years, depicts Mother Nature and its stages of evolution by
photographing a square tray and a mixture of water paints
and colour pastels.
Tuan’s
masterly handling of water paints and pastels have made his
photos lively and astonishingly dynamic in featuring his
chosen theme, creating a strong sense of movement through
still photography.
“I brainstorm
when taking photos. I do not want to simply take pictures of
whatever I see,” Tuan said, sharing that he has travelled to
many places in the country, from which experience he has
found ways to “condense the vastness of the world and turn
it into its essence”.
Formerly a
teacher before immersing himself into photography, Tuan, 52,
has been involved in the field for almost 30 years and has
received around 200 awards from local and international
competitions.
On being
bestowed with the title in late November, 2009, Tuan became
the first M.FIAP holder in Vietnam and the second in
Southeast Asia. (VNA)
