HOMAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF PERMËT

Anh Dai Nguyen

Albania was truly a unique place. We spent a good week there with my fellow uni companions and in that week I got to witness the beauty of the land, the hospitality and warmthness of the people there. All of which through my lens, I was able to capture - the people there who led simple lives, most of them make their living through agriculture and it was great to showcase the deep connection between the people and their land. The photographs I took are a homage to the incredible people of Permet and to the town itself that made the trip unforgettable. We also made a trip to Kute, A town also situated on the Vjosa where I took this photograph. I felt like this photograph best depicts the Albanian village way of life... families, friends and neighbours are very closely knitted together and everybody is involved in everyone’s life which allows them to bond in so many ways. This was especially unforgettable and beautiful to capture through my lens.
