"What is Time?"

What is time? The title itself poses a question humanity has pondered for ages. Time is often seen as an adversary, especially for women, who are socially conditioned to equate beauty with youth. This photo challenges that notion by showing that beauty is not diminished but transformed with time. The older woman's lines and wrinkles are not imperfections—they are the marks of a life rich in experience, the essence of a different kind of beauty that only time can create.

Through this work, I want to highlight the inevitability of change and urge viewers to embrace time instead of fearing it. Time doesn't just take away; it also adds depth, wisdom, and a unique radiance to those who accept it. This message is particularly profound in a world obsessed with youthful appearances, reminding us that every stage of life holds its form of beauty and meaning...

"Time Is Running Out"

This black-and-white photograph captures a profoundly emotional and timeless moment. The image portrays an elderly woman seated in the left corner, her expression reflecting the depth of life's experiences, a quiet resilience, and perhaps a touch of nostalgia. The intense interplay of light and shadow highlights the details of her weathered face, traditional clothing, and aged hands, evoking a sense of dignity and the passage of time.

The minimalist composition—juxtaposing the illuminated subject against a stark black background—draws the viewer's attention entirely to the woman and her presence. The negative space surrounding her amplifies the themes of solitude and introspection, creating a poignant narrative about the inevitability of time and the fleeting nature of life.

"Sad Memories"

This evocative black-and-white photograph tells a profoundly touching story of resilience and survival. An older woman, clad in humble attire and wearing a traditional conical hat, sits by her small street stall selling modest goods. Her weathered face and faraway gaze carry the weight of countless untold stories—of sacrifices, hardships, and an unwavering determination to endure.

Beside her, a blind young man delicately plays a harmonica to earn a few coins from passersby. Though unheard in the photograph's stillness, his music resonates with the quiet sorrow etched into their expressions. There is an unspoken bond between them, perhaps that of a mother and her son, working together to navigate life's challenges on the margins.

The photograph's raw simplicity—highlighted by its monochromatic tones—amplifies the emotions within. The contrast between their silent perseverance and the bustling life beyond the frame creates a striking visual narrative. "Sad Memories" captures a moment in time and the enduring strength of human connection and the will to survive despite overwhelming odds.

The Cham Community in Vietnam

The Cham people are one of Vietnam's oldest ethnic groups, with a rich history and culture dating back to the ancient Champa Kingdom, which flourished between the 2nd and 15th centuries. Most of the Cham population resides in central and southern Vietnam, particularly in provinces like Ninh Thuận, Bình Thuận, and An Giang.

The Cham culture is a vibrant blend of traditions, including architecture, music, and crafts. Their temples, known as towers (tháp), such as the iconic Po Nagar and Mỹ Sơn ruins, reflect the unique Hindu and Islamic influences that shaped their history. Many Cham people practice Hinduism or Islam, and their festivals, such as Ramuwan (Cham Ramadan), offer fascinating glimpses into their spiritual lives.

Photographing the Cham community provides a rare opportunity to capture their daily lives, unique attire, traditional crafts, and stunning landscapes surrounding their villages. It's an incredible journey into one of Vietnam's most culturally rich and visually captivating ethnic groups.

📸 Don't miss the chance to experience this for yourself! Join the photography tour by Nguyen Vu Phuoc in June 2025 to immerse in the Cham culture and capture unforgettable moments. Limited spots are available—reserve yours now!

Be Mindful When Photographing Early Morning Street Scenes in Vietnam
When photographing street scenes in Vietnam in the early morning, particularly at markets or local shops, it's essential to understand the people's cultural sensitivities. Vietnamese culture is deeply rooted in spirituality, and the start of a new day is crucial for setting the tone of good fortune and success.
For vendors and shopkeepers, the first sales of the day are seen as a sign of luck and prosperity for the entire day. Therefore, they prefer to focus on their business and may feel uneasy if interrupted by photographers or onlookers. This cultural context calls for a respectful and mindful approach to your photography.
How to Capture These Moments Respectfully
Opt for a telephoto lens to avoid disturbing people during their morning routines. This allows you to capture candid moments and natural expressions from a distance without intruding on their space or disrupting their business flow.
Observe Before Shooting
Take some time to observe the scene quietly. This helps you understand the dynamics of the market or shop and identify moments worth capturing without interfering.
Please respect Their Privacy.
If someone notices your camera and appears uncomfortable, moving on or politely asking if they'd mind being photographed is best. Always prioritize respect over the shot.
Focus on the Atmosphere
Vietnam's markets and streets are rich with vibrant colors, textures, and activity. Even if you avoid photographing individuals up close, you can still capture the atmosphere, such as the array of goods, the play of morning light, and the crowd's movement.
