Storyteller of Light

A little peace with photography
The epic of Vietnam's seas and islands through 272 photographic works

Nguyen An Di is a member of the Khanh Hoa Provincial Literature and Arts Association, a member of FIAP, PSA and IAAP, an international photo judge. He is the ambassador of the International Association of Photographic Artists IAAP in Vietnam and a representative of FPC (international photography organization) in Vietnam.

Considered a silent storyteller, his name is synonymous with subtlety, depth and talent. Specializing and excelling in three main areas of photography: street, portrait and landscape, what makes him unique is his choice of black and white photography as a language of expression. It is in the simplicity of these two basic colors that he finds the power to truly portray hidden emotions, silent stories and the hidden beauty of life, which can be overwhelmed by color.

In every moment on the street, Nguyen An Di not only simply records images but also captures the soul of the scene and people - from street vendors making a living to distant, thoughtful eyes. His portraits are a subtle interplay between light and shadow, deeply depicting the wrinkles of time, eyes filled with thoughts, bright smiles... With landscapes, he not only captures beautiful scenes but also breathes life into them, bringing a quiet, nostalgic look at nature and architecture, where the black and white contrast is pushed to its peak, creating works rich in artistry and emotional depth.

Nguyen An Di's talent lies not only in his photography skills, but also in his ability to control light and shadow, turning them into storytelling tools, creating depth, texture and a unique atmosphere. Telling stories with light, each of his black and white photos is a wordless symphony, where light and shadow dance, telling stories that words cannot fully describe. Through his photos, he is a silent ambassador bringing the beauty of Vietnamese culture and people to the world through a captivating black and white lens. His works are whispers of the soul, inviting viewers to contemplate and feel life more deeply.

As a street photographer, life's spontaneous moments are always an endless source of inspiration and for him: "A photo not only captures a moment, but can also bring joy and sharing to those around."

Born in 1978, growing up in the coastal city of Nha Trang, he brings the breath of his homeland into each frame, creating a unique style, bearing his personal mark. He is honored to own noble titles from the world's leading photography organizations, a regular judge for many international photography competitions, demonstrating the recognition of his expertise and artistic vision globally. Nguyen An Di's career is also adorned with hundreds of prestigious awards, many gold, silver, bronze medals and honorary certificates from international photography organizations.

A moment of contemplation of a highlander.
