Photographer Thanh Tung and his son Bill Nguyen launched a photo book of Saigon 365, recording the realistic and vivid everyday moments of Ho Chi Minh City.
Saigon 365 is a streetlife photography project, recording everyday moments in Ho Chi Minh City in 365 days of two authors, father and son: Photographer Nguyen Thanh Tung and Nguyen Huynh Bach (Bill Nguyen).
The photo series is not only a photo document about life and people but also a meaningful gift on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025)
The Saigon 365 photo book consists of 5 books, including 4 by photographer Nguyen Thanh Tung. The remaining book Saigon 18 was compiled and designed by Bill Nguyen. Photo: Trang Nguyen
Sharing about the purpose of implementing this project, photographer Nguyen Thanh Tung said that through the book series and exhibition, he wants to share with everyone - those who live, work, and grow up in Ho Chi Minh City - to love the land where he lives more and share good energy and images with everyone and international friends. To see that, a Ho Chi Minh City is always developing every day.
In addition, the Saigon 365 project is also a birthday gift for the author's wife, teacher Huynh Thong Nhat, who was born on April 30, 1975 . Photo: Trang Nguyen
Notably, in 5 volumes, the book Saigon 18 records the youthful and enthusiastic perspective of an 18-year-old young man on Ho Chi Minh City.
I am most satisfied with these two photos because it has peace in the photo on the left and something that is perfect in work, life on the right side, Bill Nguyen shared.
