I was thrilled this week to travel to Hanoi for the printing of my two new Vietnam photo books, Hanoi Panorama and Vibrant Vietnam. Both are hard cover books of 150 pages the shooting for which took place over the last 18 months.
Hanoi Panorama is a collection of panoramic images of the national capital while Vibrant Vietnam covers the country from north to south covering the main tourist destinations.
Both books as well as five bound postcard sets will join my first two books Hoi An Panorama and Saigon Ca Phe and will be in Artbook and Tribook bookshops, as well as other good bookstores throughout Vietnam by the end of April.

Tow books by 2,000 copies is a lot of paper and ink. This is a fraction.
