Before becoming a photographer , Tran Van Nhanh worked as a primary school teacher. To supplement his income and support his family and children's education, he left the classroom and switched to photography services while also working as a tailor. Now, with both children having graduated from university and having stable jobs, although he no longer faces financial pressure, he remains dedicated to maintaining his family's small photography studio.
With many years of experience, coupled with his enthusiasm and meticulousness in the profession, for nearly 20 years, he has been trusted and chosen by many clients for weddings and events. However, currently, due to declining health, he no longer takes as many wedding photos as before, and now focuses only on ID photos and restoring old photos.
Besides providing a stable income to support himself, his freelance photography job also led him to his passion for artistic photography. Whenever he had the time, he participated in photography trips with friends and colleagues, gaining practical experience and learning. After these trips, he created many works and participated in artistic photography competitions at the provincial, Mekong Delta, and national levels.
Author Tran Van Nhanh shared that he mainly creates photographs about everyday life. Most of his award-winning works, selected for exhibition at photography competitions, also revolve around this theme.
From pursuing photography for a living to falling in love with the profession, becoming passionate and dedicated to it, both service photography and art photography have always been a great source of support and encouragement, helping him to be more confident and optimistic in life.
Some of his notable works include: "Sunbathing," which won an Encouragement Award at the 2012 National Art Photography Exhibition; "New Asphalt Road," "Soy Milk Cream," "Crop Variety Conversion," and "Boiling Shrimp," exhibited at the Mekong Delta Regional Art Photography Festival in 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2020; "Vinh Long Pottery Village," exhibited at the VN21 International Art Photography Competition; "Happiness," Second Prize in 2010, and "Rural Plasticization," Second Prize in 2012, at the Vinh Long Provincial Art Photography Competition; "Borderland Afternoon," exhibited at the "Proud of a Border Region" Art Photography Competition in 2022; and "Harvest," which won an Encouragement Award at the Beautiful Fruit Photography Contest - Vietnam Fruit and OCOP Products Festival in 2022 in Son La province…
