Driven by a passion to immortalize Vietnam’s dynamic urban landscapes, Trung Dong seeks out everyday scenes, which, when captured from unique perspectives or bathed in the golden glow of sunset, reveal their extraordinary essence. Based in Ho Chi Minh City, Dong regularly traverses his homeland, shining a spotlight on the people and places that constitute daily life. One of his noteworthy projects, the ‘Fruit Ladies’ series, showcases aerial vistas of street vendors transporting baskets brimming with fruits, vegetables, flowers, and more to bustling markets. Often adorned with traditional conical hats obscuring their faces, these merchants’ distinct postures, attire, and wares provide the only glimpses into their identities.
Dong is currently immersed in crafting additional series that capture similar bustling scenes from the same aerial perspective, alongside a captivating collection of imagery depicting the rivers of southern Vietnam. Delve into his diverse portfolio on Instagram to experience the vibrant tapestry of Vietnamese life through his lens.
