Photographer and director Doan Minh Tuan said that in Hanoi in the 1980s, almost everyone knew Thanh Lam. At that time, the female singer was active in the art troupe of the Hanoi Children's Cultural Palace and was considered a "child star". In the 1990s, Doan Minh Tuan took photos of many beauty queens, models, and famous singers, including Thanh Lam.
"In the 90s, Thanh Lam often went to the South to sing for many music shows of musician Phu Quang. At that time, Thanh Lam and Hong Nhung were two young singers of Hanoi music, they were like a pair of cards. I was close to Hong Nhung so I often met Thanh Lam during that time. The first time I took pictures of Thanh Lam was in Hanoi around 1994 to write articles and post covers for some magazines and journals at that time", photographer Doan Minh Tuan said. According to him, at that time, Thanh Lam always appeared with a strong, individualistic and sometimes a bit rebellious image. The female singer impressed with her sharp style: dark red lipstick, short hair and a nose with rhinestones.
Later, the singer changed to a more gentle style. In the photo, Thanh Lam follows the dove hair style - a trend that was loved by many people in the 1990s. "Besides the beauties I have photographed, to me, Thanh Lam is also a beauty. However, unlike other beauties, after singing, Thanh Lam prefers to go out rather than take photos. Thanh Lam's face can express many different shades, so she looks beautiful in almost any angle. Her smile is very pretty and radiant, but there are rarely photos of her smiling. Her eyes are bright, sparkling and soulful, but always sad in every photo," the photographer told
Dan Tri reporter. Doan Minh Tuan shared more, in addition to taking photos for newspapers and making music album covers, he also filmed many live shows and MVs for Thanh Lam. "The first product I directed was the MV
Chieu Xuan, filmed in Hanoi, sung by Thanh Lam and composed by musician Nhat Trung. Trung and I have been friends since middle school in Hanoi. I like the part where Thanh Lam stands in a convertible and sings while the car goes around Hoan Kiem Lake and Hanoi's Old Quarter the most. I feel like a spring greeting to return to Hanoi, to return home. Walking around the streets, where there are many childhood memories of all of us, those are rare images until now. I have never seen Thanh Lam so close to the Hanoi audience. The image is very lovely, innocent and pure," he said.
Doan Minh Tuan revealed that Thanh Lam has a strong personality, is straightforward, and sometimes humorous and very happy and natural. "Thanh Lam does everything with all her heart, putting in all her effort and energy. She is willing to experiment, innovate, and is ready to face and take responsibility for changes, whether successful or not," the photographer commented.
