A set of 20 photos highlighting environmental issues has earned Hoang Quoc Tuan the title of master photographer from the Federation of International Artistic Photography (FIAP).
His photo collection “Su tran tro ve moi truong” (Concern for the Environment) depicts Nature and its stages of evolution using a square tray and a mixture of water paints and colour pastels.
Tuan’s masterly handling of water paints and pastels make his photos lively and astonishingly dynamic in featuring his chosen theme, creating a strong sense of movement through still photography.
He has been involved in the field for almost 30 years and has received hundreds of awards at local and international competitions.
When he was given the title in late November, 2009, Tuan became the first M.FIAP holder in Vietnam and the second in Southeast Asia.
