Pho Ba Cuong – Photography is the power to discover beauty in every circumstance

Photography, a subtle art, is not merely about capturing images but also about how we perceive the world around us. Photographer Pho Ba Cuong, through the language of photography, opens a doorway for us to explore the beauty of life, from the simplest moments to the most magnificent scenes. In light and shadow, he finds joy—a joy that stems not only from creating images but also from connecting the soul with God.

From the Old Testament to the New Testament, the importance of seeing and feeling is constantly emphasized. In Genesis, God created the world and saw that it was good (Genesis 1:31). Every photo we take is like a work of creation, reflecting God's beauty in every detail. The photographer, like a creator, has a responsibility not just to capture what is seen but to convey a message of love and joy.

In the New Testament, Jesus said: “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10). The joy that photography brings is precisely the abundant life that He promised. Each photo is an invitation to live fully, to feel each moment, and to find joy in the simplest things. Photography is not just a technique; it is a spiritual journey through which we discover ourselves and our relationship with God.

Phó Bá Cường expresses this through his works. He does not merely take pictures but tells stories—stories of people, nature, and life. Each photograph is a prayer, a tribute to the blessings granted by God. As Saint Paul wrote: “I can do all things through Him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13). Photography is the power to see beauty in all circumstances, to find joy even in times of hardship.

Ultimately, photography is not just an art form but also a mission. It calls us to view life through the lens of love, hope, and joy. Like an artist, let us allow God's light to shine through every photo, turning each moment into a testament of His love and presence in our lives.
