Since 2001, the French photographer Réhahn has been traveling through Southeast Asia on his motorcycle, capturing novelties and beautiful landscapes, whilst visiting more than 35 countries. Across his journey through Asia, he came across Vietnam.

Starting with this first visit, it became a decade-long journey of exploration and discovery of the country's ethnic communities and preserved culture.

“A good connection (and photograph) must start with respect. I always put my camera away and give my full attention to the person I’m meeting so that trust can build organically.” This is a motto that Réhahn stands by.

    This makes me think that they are telling each other jokes.

    This is Le Van Se and his wife, Nguyen Thi Loi in Hoi An. My adopted Vietnamese daughter and I were invited for tea at their house as we were biking through their farm.

    I'm guessing this might have been slightly filtered, but this image knocks me flat. There is so much soul in this little kid's face - probably more than any adult I know. I can't stop coming back to this.

    This is not in Vietnam, it's in Ladakh - India. But a beautiful picture.

    To think they plant that rice by hand plant by plant by plant as far as the eye can see. I want a rice Paddy. So beautiful and majestic.

    At first I thought that this was "blah", but then I stared at it for a moment. The gradation of color is insanely beautiful. Then you see the man in his boat and if you put your face closer and bring him into focus, you might think it's actually a water color. I like this photographer, whomever it is.

    The rain drops falling from the brim look like they're part of the hat, like the little crystal strings(?) that hang from lampshades.
