After the re-establishment of Quang Nam province in 1997, the force of photographers from Quang Nam was gathered from local movement activities. The Photography Association of the Quang Nam Literature and Arts Association was also formed from here.

In 2003, the association recruited enough photography artists and established a specialized association in Quang Nam. Since then, creative activities in the field of photography have continuously developed, with professional orientation, and have grown stronger in both strength and achievements.

Artists across the country often remember each other through their famous works. Sometimes, they don’t know each other, but when mentioning a work, they immediately remember the author’s name. It is the works that leave a deep impression on the hearts of photography lovers and the public.

From the camera angles of Quang people, heritage frames are also formed, with the main message spreading the unique beauty of the heritage land.

Photographic works create the mark of each artist's life, energizing artists to stick with their passion. In the frame of Hoi An's heritage, people remember "Hoi An in memory" by Duong Phu Tam, winning the FIAP International Bronze Medal; female photographer Thai Bich Thuan won the 2012 National Excellent A Prize with the work "Visiting the city on a rainy day"; Mai Thanh Chuong with "Under the rain" won the 2012 National Gold Medal; Le Trong Khang won the first prize of the 2014 Vietnam Heritage Photo Contest with the work "Hoi An night lights"...

This is what contributes to the confidence of Quang Nam photographers every time they "bring the bell to strike foreign lands". Photographers are increasingly expanding their topics, areas of composition, applying new technology, creating creative ways of expression... enriching the series of achievements each year.

Up to now, the photography force of the Quang Nam Literature and Arts Association has gathered 30 photographers, not to mention many people working in amateur photography clubs. In addition, the Central members are present in the locality, working alongside the passionate and dynamic young force. They will nurture and develop the Quang Nam photography movement, continuing the mission of promoting the cultural values ​​and landscapes of the homeland through the frames.
