Aidan: A couple of weeks back I had a Super Sunday in Saigon with Nha and Lee. Unless I’m still out, it’s not often I see the city at 6am on the weekend, but it’s well was worth the early rise! The markets are buzzing, badminton and other sports are in full swing and its...
Aidan: Julian and I first worked with Trang over two years ago when we flew down to Saigon from Hanoi to photograph what some social circles were calling the wedding of the year!
