Vietnamese photographer Pham Anh Tu, whose photos take you into a dream world

Is it possible to capture a dream in a frame? Vietnamese photographer Pham Anh Tu confidently answers: yes. He turns everyday life into a fantastic journey, and his photographs into poetry told through light and shadow. His works are more than just pretty pictures. They are a way to look at the world through the eyes of a dreamer who is not afraid to go against expectations in order to find himself and share his vision with others.

Photographer Pham Anh Tu calls himself a dreamer and carefully preserves his childhood in his soul. "I see the world through a small lens" - this is how he describes himself. His work is similar to the poems of futurist poets - it is just as bright, unusual and not understandable to everyone. The photographer dives into the depths of consciousness, uses memories, plays with images and simply creates beauty.

For the sake of photography, Pham Anh Tu once left a well-paid office job, to which he devoted many years. His family and some friends did not immediately accept his choice. But it soon became clear that photography is not just a hobby, but a way to realize one’s creative potential, enjoy life and earn money at the same time.

The beginning of the Vietnamese photographer's journey was not easy. He had to open a photo studio, relying only on his own strength. There was not enough money and time, and those around him did not approve of his decision. But persistence, multiplied by talent, very soon brought results. Now Pham Anh Tu's studio has no end of clients, and his photographs are presented in famous magazines such as Vogue and Elle and in large photo galleries.

Most of the master's photographs were taken in his hometown of Dalat and its surroundings. Vibrant jungles of Vietnam, majestic mountains, beautiful flowers and fantastic fogs offer the photographer a wonderful environment for work. Each series of the photographer's works is an encrypted message that encourages reflection. But even if you do not try to understand the meaning of the photographs, they delight with their originality and beauty.

Pham Anh Tu has proven that dreams can not only be cherished, but also realized — frame by frame, step by step. His path inspires those who are afraid to turn off the usual path for the sake of their favorite work. Do you believe that art can change life — and would you dare to start everything from scratch for the sake of a dream?
