Artistic colors through the lens of a female photographer
This year's exhibition is not only a place to honor the talents of female photographers but also a testament to the continuous development of female photography in Ho Chi Minh City.
The works on display cover a wide range of topics, from daily life to urban architecture, from majestic natural beauty to authentic, emotional moments of the Vietnamese people.
In particular, in addition to the live exhibition at the headquarters of the Ho Chi Minh City Photography Association (122 Suong Nguyet Anh, District 1), the Women's Photography Working Group has launched an online photo book.
This publication summarizes the outstanding activities of female photographers in Ho Chi Minh City in the past year, and introduces 159 works by female photographers with portraits of the authors.
Throughout 2024, female photographers participated in a series of creative activities, notably the "Colors of Ho Chi Minh City" contest launched by the Ho Chi Minh City Photography Association, in response to the 50th anniversary of national reunification.
The contest attracted 1,450 works by 71 female authors, with 81 outstanding works exhibited and 11 awards given. These works not only recorded diverse perspectives on Ho Chi Minh City but also contributed to bringing the names of many female authors to the ranks of official members of the Ho Chi Minh City Photography Association.
Not stopping there, the sisters also actively participated in creative trips to many places such as Binh Phuoc, Dong Nai, Vung Tau, recording valuable images of Vietnamese culture, people and nature. Those efforts were rewarded with many high awards at major competitions.
