Life on the water

Nina May

Vietnam boasts a dense network of rivers with thousands of large and small ones spreading across the country. Consequently, the cultural life of Vietnamese people is deeply intertwined with images of boats, rivers, fishermen, and fishing nets. This rich tapestry of river life provides abundant material for many photographers on their journeys to capture beautiful scenes.

Nina May, a female photographer from Xu Doai (currently Son Tay province), finds inspiration in picturesque waterscapes in rural areas. Join Heritage Magazine in admiring some beautiful yet simple moments of people whose lives are closely connected to their homeland’s rivers and waters.
