Women making "sticky rice" which is then stored away. Rice is crushed into a pulp and then made into a paste that can be used in a number of different ways. 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).
In this particular shot, the women are making "sticky rice" which is then stored away. Rice is crushed into a pulp and then made into a paste that can be used in a number of different ways.
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 100 copies).
Additionally, 10% of the sales of this image will go towards the development of a Fund to support photojournalists and documentary photographers.
