40 years of unforgettable moments: The photographer, the worker honors

do Anh Tuan, a 76-year-old photographer, developed a unique view of the life of the workers in Vietnam with his 40-year career. Born in hunger and grew up in the industrial region of Thai Nguyen, which is known for her tea and steel, Tuan has captured authentic moments through his photographs without prescribing the trends of luxury. His impressive works often show workers in production, including scenes such as a worker in front of a steel oven or tea picker in the picturesque mountains.

Before he devoted himself to photography, Tuan worked as a car mechanic and was a secretary of the youth union. These experiences shaped his gaze to the world of work, while he discovered his new hobby in his free time and began to send his photos to the press. One of his great passions are the tea fields that he regularly visits in areas such as Tan Cuong and Phu Luong. His deep connection with these places and the people working there is clearly noticeable in his photos.

artistic development and commitment

Tuan did not enjoy any formal training as a photographer, but brought everything through self -study. His photographic style, which requires minimal post -processing, aims to capture the crucial moment. This originality brings him great praise, not only from critics, but also from the community of workers he honors. As a member of the Thai Nguyen iron and steel workers club, he regularly organizes photo exhibitions to offer the daily efforts of the workers a platform.

On May 11, 2025, he presented his first solo exhibition under the title "Going Through Time". This exhibition included over 50 carefully selected photographs that provide an impressive overview of his work. Tuan sees photography as a dialogue between the photographer and the viewer. He encourages younger photographers to preserve their passion and patience in this craft.

The rewards of photography

for Tuan are the greatest rewards of his work in the spiritual values and the joy he experiences through photography. He remains actively in the world of photography, even at the age of 76, and is passionate about promoting this art form. As head of the Thai Nguyen Provincial Photography Association, he plays a central role in exchange between experienced and emerging photographers.

his life's work not only offers a look at the beauty of work, but also leaves a message to the coming generations: the essential meaning of passion and patience in the art of photography. He hopes that future artists will apply his values and continue to hold the history of the workers.
