In the process of “hunting” for photos of people or nature, the male photographer believes that it depends on many factors. When taking photos of people, he often combines both nature and installation art. Sometimes, he just quietly observes and records natural moments. Sometimes, he actively talks to the subject to maximize their beauty and personality.

To get a satisfactory landscape photo, taking advantage of weather factors, choosing the right shooting angle and creating a harmonious composition is very important. For example, the moments of dawn and dusk often bring the most beautiful light, making the photo more vivid and impressive. However, the most important thing is the ability to tell a story and convey emotions through each work.
Taking photos is not just about pressing the shutter, but also a journey of experience. To get eye-catching photos, careful preparation is needed, from researching the location, weather to choosing the right equipment. However, according to Vu Khoa, flexibility is also very important. It is as simple as changing the plan to capture unexpected moments and create photos with a personal touch. Understanding the local culture, destination and difficulties during the implementation process will also help you better prepare for the trip.

Travel photography is not only rosy but also has gray areas, difficulties. This is a job that requires creativity and great inspiration. Photographers must always move to have beautiful pictures, exchanging their personal life. At that time, travel is no longer simply a rest but also the time when work begins.
Vu Khoa shared: “There are many memorable memories, but the most memorable was the time I followed the people to the Long Dien salt fields in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province at 4am. The road to the fields was bumpy and slippery. The feeling of getting off the motorboat and sinking my feet into the mud up to my knees was truly unforgettable. Luckily, I had some companions to pull me up, otherwise I would probably still be struggling with the mud. However, fortunately, I left early so I could watch the sunrise and capture the colorful moments of the people working and living here.”
