Mr. Nguyen Xuan Toan, 32 years old, from Nam Dinh, still does not count the provinces along with the country that he has gone through, but for him, what remains in each of his journeys are the rice flower seasons.

In 2012, the 8X boy started working as a survey engineer, roaming all over regions of Vietnam. Over the years, Toan felt his job was dry, so he started learning to take pictures through friends with the same interests, social networking sites …

Mr. Toan said: “When I was doing the survey, I  saw a lot of beautiful scenes but I didn’t have time to take pictures because I was busy with work. After this, I have time to go and explore. I like to experience, close to the simple life, especially collecting pictures of flowers all over Vietnam ”.

In order to maintain his passion for photography, Toan works at the same time to take advantage of photos, he always tries to balance himself in order to complete the work and satisfy his hobby.

“Most of the flowers I took are on high altitude, rural people but now there are not many in the regions”, Mr. Toan added.

Anh Toan added: “Flowers at high altitude are very difficult to capture if there is not enough equipment to meet the needs such as cameras, lenses … For example, when taking a bud, you must go very soon. have not traveled much, not crushed flowers. Or if we go to photograph the lotus, we have to go very soon because late, the flowers will wilt and fall back. “

For Mr. Toan, a memorable trip was to take pictures of rice plants in Yen Mo, Ninh Binh. Anh Toan said this is a region characterized by the North. Especially the rice plants here are very beautiful.

“Fortunately, there was a friend in Yen Mo, so things were pretty good. That morning, we drove a motorbike to the place where there were rice flowers. It was drizzling in the North, the road was very dirty, it was already 14 o’clock when we arrived, but luckily the rain stopped when we arrived. I hold up the camera to shoot continuously, feeling tired all over “, Toan confided.

In addition, Toan still remembers taking photos of phoenix flowers in Dien Bien. “I went to Dien Bien on a random occasion and did not intend to take pictures of flowers. But surprisingly because on a hilltop there are giant phoenix trees, flowers bloom close to the ground. Due to the scorching sun in the summer, no one came to visit, me and my friend I who worked as a travel blogger were very excited and took every corner around the stunningly beautiful phoenix tree “, Toan added.
