He was Vietnamese Male The first recorded "life diary" wildlife by photographic record and be recognized in this field with more than 200,000 images.   In 2008, he was awarded the gold face Because c-business environment of Vietnam; prize Press Photo contest launched nationwide with the cries of the long-tailed macaques and prizes Film Festival with the National Environmental Gold British film - the legendary birds. Surprisingly, only a professional photographer left hand, his main job as a procuracy officials in Binh Thuan province. He was given many friends nickname: Soldiers protect the environment, just like a bird ... but I still call him by the name Le Hoai Phuong donate rice to the nickname "Artists forest green."

The Call of the Wild  

Meek, speaking softly but any mention of forests, the spoon is interesting photographic artists (NSNA) Le Hoai Phuong excited again, entirely heated up: "The forest in Binh Thuan province is blessed gift many beautiful birds, such as gold you, gold star, phoenix land, Hill Myna (but) ... If Wren is a great time to admire them among thousands of immense beauty that will surely make you crazy. " Also for that reason that in 1999, he brought together beauty of life   mystery of birds, wild animals to people through film and photos.

Recall the early days of "conquering" the forest, he brought 10 film, promised his son would carry on pretty pictures. But, his feet on gravelly medium dry leaves, the birds were dive music away, mink, monkeys ... well curved tail running away. Take two on net, he had barely put the camera on the birds and animals were "respiratory variables."He realized: "Wildlife Photography extremely difficult, equipment and technical support only, it is important to understand the law, our life."Since then, every weekend he is back into the forest, only to observe and listen. Also, his "practice" policies, monitoring programs and the animal world to find out in the bird breeding and sale of birds ...

Career prosecutor inherent observation, analysis helped him quickly to identify and distinguish birds. After more than two years of mixed forest, he was out of the forest as understood ... wife: "Just hear the birds singing is what I know, including scientific names, are going hunting, or" follower games, "nesting in Where, how to distinguish the voice menacing enemies and do voice calls you love ... "

Update rules of survival of many animals, as in Forest photographers, he was not on hand as white as before. However, birds nesting on high-end park to fly, very nice to photograph the difficulty: "very fine birds, the kookaburra prey capture, I must be hiding in the Thum (circle made of tree branches forest, just a hole toward the outer lens) was taken only four days a broken right ... the right moment it encounters the fish. It was like the first photo of me after 2 years of the forest. "

He became acquainted with the camera in 1997, when a friend gave Canon brand cameras. Think photography easy: just look and click, he volunteered as vice blink for nephew's birthday. First, two film darkness. The next time he blocks Releases   when the press is not to end a 76-style film. Bringing new washing said film was slipping, not of what is broken. English pride: "Why do others do it, do not you?" You see the book in any bookstore word photography is all about movies: 32 volumes! Learn, just practice with the wife-child model. "Burning of dozens of films, new pictures have been colored boy sitting very cute. I participate in the contest sent photos Germany - Tai and Vietnamese beauty Male organized by the People's Newspaper in 1997. No doubt, winning three photos. From there I started enthusiasts   photography "- he said.

            Word a stop, he combines photography and film, to make films about the environment and the natural world by the Discovery model. He not only loved the forest, spoon interesting that wants to impart the message: Together, environmental preservation and conservation of wildlife species.

Stations peace  

From day "grace sharp" with a camera,   Le Hoai Phuong any year NSNA Corinthians also explain (to now be 87 prizes in domestic and foreign). Each additional record of success, he always refers to a person with profound gratitude: Ms. Vu Thi Thanh Thao - his wife.

She told, back married, the couple has only 86 of his Cup car is invaluable. One night, his sister to a neighbor's house watching television inventory, discovered at the home you're fuming because of fire knife.The next day, he sold the car, buy a genuine television, a residual gold only to his wife bought the bike shop, I walk to work.

He is also enthusiastic: "People say," his office wife, "but my wife is number one. My wife is great too. Beautiful, delicious cooking, sewing and just say good things to say." Forest with his wife, whom I love more? ".   He damaged a language, but also told me half jokingly asked evil, half-truth: "Love is not decentralization. Birds are important, but not where his wife is also meaningful. Just accept her new husband more than in his home, an expensive player, while hardly well-off family. "

He misses his wife smuggled on bank loans to purchase more than 15 million lenses. To the limit, he went the distance, a bank employee asks to call home, she discovered a new User. As he waited on, she asked: "You borrowed money from banks to do?". He confessed: "I bought the lens." She was surprised: "Why have you said before hundreds of thousands?". He thought his wife would grumble, before the blame "to spend" and his lies, but she just told: "I do remember oblivion discuss with me," Lang Lang and her husband repaid debts.

Supported her husband but when I photograph the beautiful or she won again ... do not look happy.At first, he wondered, but then he understood, hidden in what looked ignored the danger to the security concerns of the husband and wife. She shared: "I commend that he does not go smoothly. I enjoy certain images show a wealth of forest life always. Forest of toxic and dangerous proportions. He previously was hospitalized for emergency vehicles on the road falling on forests. There are times, due to bad weather, his four-day stay in New Forest. My mother sat on the fire. At him, the boy hugged every three crying: "I think jaguars eat three, you call the police to report her." Whenever he received, I am proud and happy, but must hide it.   However, I believe you understand our wives. "

Of course, I understand the worries and expense of the wife, so the sense of responsibility and always try to spend time with family. England have a habit every afternoon frequency is carrying his wife and children to the streets, watching the sea ... He said "If you really think of family care, despite how busy can be balanced, be arranged."

The more exposure he and his wife, as she saw him like oriole nest. Please borrow English words in the film Gold - birds close to the legendary stories about him: "10 year life span is about time that the pairs gold he brought to life the natural beauty of wild animals period. Beauty family is love, happiness sublimation of his gold. Our love is the message sent from the aesthetic life of wild nature, value and awaken the conscience of human responsibility for nature.
