My initial impressions of Vietnam were formed by assignments and leading photo tours to the ethnically diverse and remoter northern provinces of the country. These areas, if explored beyond the touristed cities, presented a trove of compelling imagery and stories. More recent work, within the travel industry, has taken me to the historic and trendy central cities of Hue and Hoi An respectively. A separate folio of work is being devoted to Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon.
