A young woman is preparing a meal inside her home in a tiny village in the mountains of north Vietnam. Part of the award winning photo-essay "PORTRAITS OF STRENGTH: Ethnic Women in North Vietnam".

“PORTRAITS OF STRENGTH” aims to document the lives of ethnic minorities living in the mountains and valleys of North Vietnam, near the border with China. I was particularly interested in portraying the lifestyles, hard conditions and strength of ethnic women (full description in my website).

For everyone to have the opportunity to own one (or more) of my photos at a reasonable price, I've decided to mint a series of them in editions of multiple copies (this image comes in 20 copies).

Additionally, 10% of the sales of this image will go towards the development of a Fund to support photojournalists and documentary photographers.
