This collection of aerial photographs celebrates the beauty of tradition in Vietnam, showcasing the daily lives of workers who carry forward time-honored crafts and practices. United by the iconic conical hats that symbolize Vietnamese culture, each image captures a unique story of dedication and artistry.



From the rhythmic rows of tea harvesters to the vibrant fields of incense sticks, the sprawling fishing nets, the textured salt flats, and the earthy vessels used for fermenting soy sauce, this body of work offers a glimpse into the labor and legacy of Vietnam’s people. Shot from above, the perspective emphasizes not only the intricate patterns and stunning geometry of these scenes but also the human connection that binds them.



This series serves as a tribute to the resilience and creativity of the workers whose traditions shape the identity of Vietnam, reminding us of the harmony between culture, craft, and community.
