French photographer Rehahn’s second pictorial book “Vietnam, Mosaic ofContrasts Volume II” will be exhibited in major cities in the country,including Hanoi, HCMC, Nha Trang, Hue and Hoi An.
Rehahn poses for photos with his 91-year-old neighbor in Hoi An, one of his favorite models.
Regarded as one of the top ten portrait photographers in the world,Rehahn has a collection of a staggering 60,000 pictures about Vietnam.He now lives in the ancient town of Hoi An in the central coast provinceof Quang Nam.
Two years ago, the first volume of the book marked the beginning of hisphotographic journey of a true Vietnam to document the allure of itsiconic scenery, diverse inhabitants and hidden, far-flung corners.
The book has earned international praise for the photos that vividlycapture Vietnam’s spirit, unique everyday interactions and intricatetribal culture.
In the second volume, Rehahn takes audiences across the country,especially to remote villages and secluded mountains, on a year-longjourney documenting Vietnam’s vanishing cultures, ancient traditions andthe everyday lifestyles that endure despite the onset of a morecontemporary way of life.
Rehahn told the Daily that it had taken him two years to prepare photosfor this second volume. Right after the first volume was launched inJanuary 2014, Rehahn started working on the second. “I’d like to saythat photos in the first book I captured as a tourist. But in the newwork, I think I capture Vietnam via the eyes of a local person as I cancommunicate with more people in more remote areas by my humbleVietnamese speaking ability,” he said.
Viewers might be enigmatically drawn to the characterful faces of boththe young and the old, the beauty that surrounds them and their everydaylives via his photos.
People will also have a chance to know somestriking stories behind the photographs and the sustained engagementbetween the photographer and the subject that leads to portraits loadedwith character, honesty and conviction.
