A beautiful photo book entitled Viet Nam: Mosaic of Contrasts II, seems to cover everything about rural Viet Nam but Réhahn is not yet content with his knowledge of the country.

“Viet Nam is like a mosaic,” he tells. “The more I live in Viet Nam the more I feel like I don't know anything here.”

Fascinated by the people and landscapes of Viet Nam, this curiosity has driven Réhahn to spend the last several years of his life traveling across the country, photographing everything from portraits of minority groups to the sweeping landscapes of Viet Nam's interior. While the first installment of his Viet Nam book series, Viet Nam: Mosaic of Contrasts, appeared last year to great success - and made its cover model famous - the photographer plans to keep this project going with more high-quality photo books in the future.

Réhahn's second book focuses on central Viet Nam whereas his first was more centered on the northern region. Though he takes thousands of images during his ongoing travels, the strength of his photographs comes from the effort and personal stories that accompany each image. For even a single image, the photographer would travel to remote parts of the country, taking an ailing motorbike up mountains and along dirt roads just to find a specific ethnic group or visit a particular place.

The end result, as you can see below, is stunning. As Réhahn gears up for a few international exhibitions, the new photo book, Viet Nam: Mosaic of Contrasts II, is now on sale at local Artbook storesas well as on his website.

On the occasion of the launch of photo book, Rehahn will hold a special exhibition in HCM City today.
