Selected in FotoDoc Photo Contest 2025

This portfolio documents the quiet strength of everyday life across Vietnam, women at work, elders in reflection, laborers and vendors carrying tradition through modern times. These images aren’t posed; they’re lived. Together, they form a narrative of resilience, routine, and identity grounded in the dignity of ordinary people.
