Author Nguyen Van Anh.
Interested in photography since the subsidy period, he often takes pictures for his family and loved ones with film cameras; But because he was busy with work, he didn't return to the joy of art photography until he retired.
Regarding the predestined relationship with photography, author Nguyen Van Anh said: “Photography gives me many things, first of all, health; then thanks to photography, I have the opportunity to learn more about the land and the Vietnamese people; I can go to many places, places that I thought I could not go to before. It is also thanks to photography that I broaden my horizons, as well as my knowledge of Champa culture that I was previously ignorant of; have more friends, be immersed in nature, be known by people from other fields of expertise… However, in return, I also spend a lot of time and money cultivating this passion. The Cham people have a lot of rituals, I have not fully exploited them yet, here I cherish the intention to go deeper, have a better shooting plan, actively capture the event more closely on these topics, besides is the theme of tourism, on the occasion of the national tourism year held in Binh Thuan".
Among the works, he is most interested in the set of photos about the ceremony of ordination to the First Deputy Master and the ordination of Mrs. Ball of the Cham Brahmins, which are topics that have not been exploited yet.
