Vietnamese photographer wins first prize in international competition
The award ceremony for the winner of the New Exposure international photography competition, organized by Vogue fashion magazine, Red Camera and Bottega Veneta fashion brand in the US, took place recently in New York, and photographer An Le from Vietnam was honored.
Surpassing 500 contestants from countries around the world, An Le - a photographer who just graduated from Sannavah University of Art and Design in the US, received the highest rating from the jury with his photo series "The Old Man and the Sea".
"I like to place objects next to each other and use contrast. For me, whether it's a real object or nature, a woman or a man, the works need to disturb the viewer, make them feel indifferent," An Le shared.
His photo reflects the turmoil and troubles that occurred in the family of an old man living by the sea. One day, the old man picked up a giant egg in the sea. The egg, under his care, later hatched into a girl. The appearance of the beautiful girl brought turmoil to the old man's family, making his wife - a woman facing old age - sad and unable to help but feel jealous. Finally, he took the girl back to the sea on a stormy day.
To create this photo series, An Le received support from the creative and production team of Dep magazine - where he is currently working. The resulting photo series represents exactly what the Dep team always adheres to - passion, creativity and professionalism.
It is known that the work "The Old Man and the Sea" will be exclusively published by Dep in the August issue.
