The bold Vietnamese images such as Ao Dai, Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Da Lat… appear new and deep through the perspective of freelance photographer Ryosuke Kosuge.
Ryosuke Kosuge (or RK) is a Japanese photographer, passionate about travel and has been to many places in the world such as America, Europe and especially Asia. From his hometown of Japan, Ryosuke has traveled to Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Thailand… exploring many different beautiful landscapes to create art sets.
This Japanese photographer is versatile and has a keen eye for unusual views of buildings, urban landscapes and even people. Ryosuke’s photos have a harmonious combination of natural and cultural details, providing both a bustling and peaceful atmosphere.
The picture above is an example of Ryosuke’s view of a busy Hanoi.
“Vietnamese Colors” is a work taken in the incense village on the outskirts of Hanoi that Ryosuke posted on his Instagram account with more than 607,000 followers. He shared when posting a photo that: “Making incense is a special traditional profession, creating products that are used by the whole of Vietnam, and the colors of these bouquets are also a special part of Vietnamese life.”
Another image of the Vietnamese people exploited by Ryosuke is the delivery man on the country road. The photographer shared: “As modern industry develops, many items and crafts gradually disappear. However, some northern villages in Vietnam are still famous for maintaining their traditional craft, For example, the profession of making all kinds of bamboo from bamboo for more than 200 years. No longer a livelihood, the profession has become an art”.
The typical image of ao dai and conical hat when referring to Vietnamese women appears on the lotus pond in front of Tam Coc Bich Dong scenic spot in Ninh Binh.
Describing the space inside Ngu Hanh Son Cave, Da Nang, Ryosuke writes: You can feel peace and hope even deep inside the cave.
Ryosuke works and lives in Tokyo, at first he worked as a graphic designer and DJ but his passion for photography grew and made him switch to freelance photographer in early 2018.
It is still the image of Vietnamese ao dai and conical hat, but the shooting scene is a tourist area in Da Lat.
Another view of the pagoda or Linh Phuoc pagoda in Da Lat. This is a place with unique architecture when using hundreds of tons of porcelain from all over the country to decorate and embellish pagodas and stupas.
