DOCUMENTARY PORTRAITS OF STATUE MAKERS - HO CHI MINH CITY

In the back alleys of Ward 12, District 6, Ho Chi Minh City, a cluster of workshops has been making religious and Buddha statues for close to a hundred years. Generations of craftspeople have worked here, and the area has become known for the trade.

I went to photograph the people working in these spaces and the environments around them — busy, cluttered places, with statues in various stages of completion alongside the tools and materials of the trade.

My interest was in the craftspeople and their work, rather than simply the finished statues. I wanted to photograph them as I found them, surrounded by the statues, tools and materials of the workshop.

It was a real privilege to be given access and to spend time photographing the people and their working environments.

ĐÀ LẠT, VIETNAM — PORTRAITS FROM VIETNAM’S FLOWER FARMS

At the high elevations of Đà Lạt, cool temperatures and a favourable climate have made the region one of Vietnam’s centres for floriculture and vegetable production. The surrounding hills are covered with greenhouses, creating a distinctive agricultural landscape around the city.

I visited Đà Lạt to photograph the growers and the environments in which they work, from extensive modern poly-greenhouses to smaller, locally adapted structures. Inside, rows of flowers and plants are carefully cultivated, with growers working through the different stages of planting, tending and harvesting.

The scale and variety of the greenhouses reflect the changing nature of agriculture in the region. Traditional knowledge and hands-on approaches sit alongside increasingly sophisticated methods of cultivation, technology and climate control.

The photographs focus on the people behind the production as well as the landscape they have created, documenting the relationship between the growers, their crops and the structures in which they work. Together, the images offer a glimpse into contemporary flower farming in Đà Lạt and the people who sustain it.

KAMPONG PHLUK — PEOPLE, COMMUNITY AND CELEBRATION IN CAMBODIA

This series of portraits from Kampong Phluk, Cambodia, was recently featured in ArtDoc Photography Magazine’s Being Human edition, Issue #3, 2026 — a collection exploring shared humanity across different cultures and communities.

These portraits were made during a wedding celebration in Kampong Phluk, a stilted fishing community on the floodplain of Tonlé Sap Lake in Cambodia’s Siem Reap Province. As a documentary photographer, I photographed people of all ages as they gathered with family, friends, and neighbours to celebrate the occasion.

Made throughout the village, the series of environmental portraits captures individuals in the streets, homes, and communal spaces of Kampong Phluk. Rather than documenting the wedding itself, the focus is on the people who make up the community — their expressions, gestures, and brief moments of connection as the celebrations unfolded.

Rooted in a specific place and cultural setting, the portraits reflect familiar themes of family, community, and belonging. The series offers a glimpse into everyday life in Kampong Phluk through a collection of documentary portraits made during a shared moment of celebration.
