Black & White Photo
I chose to take black and white photos because I thought that after taking the photos, those images would forever be in the past. It evokes regret about the past and brings mixed emotions of sadness and joy.
The photos I have taken over the past decades mostly capture happy and sad moments in the daily lives of the Lao people, who live in high mountain villages or remote border areas. The lives of poor people who don't even have enough to eat but are very optimistic and love life are shown through their eyes and smiles in the photos... Photos that I hope viewers can understand and feel. have the same feelings as us, the people living in this beautiful country.
