Rural highlands of Vietnam

My Scholarship entry - Hard life of ethnic groups in Vietnam

Vietnam | Monday, November 24, 2014 | 5 photos

My name is Vu Thi Bich Hong. I was born in a peasant family in Thanh Hoa, Vietnam. I studied anthropology with graduation in 2009.
In photography I am a self-taught person. Of course, I always learn from other photographers, and from their photos.
In the last year, I extended my photo trips in Vietnam with traveling to Cambodia, Thailand, Europe and South Africa. I love more to go to secluded places in the rural area than to big cities.
I love photography documenting landscapes, portraits of people and their activities. So, I learn about their culture, and the people become familiar with me through my photos. Above all, I can share my photos and the stories behind them with my family and my friends.
I look forward to my dream to become a professional photographer, to take the best photos from trips around the world and living as a passionate photographer.
I believe that my photos still can be improved, with your support. So I apply for your scholarship, and I send a selection of photos to you.
I believe in self-confidence, passion, personal effort, and the magic of photography will come to me.
