Ho Chi Minh City: Peace in the Chaos, and Coffee on Location

Overview

It is time for the second group of five photographers to capture the city of Ho Chi Minh through their lenses. In this bustling metropolis of millions, they take to the streets in search of moments of stillness amidst the omnipresent hustle and bustle. A new addition this year is the assignment to create a travel photo album, which will count towards the final assessment of the finale. This task forms an important part of the competition and requires meticulous follow-up and careful execution. A well-executed photo album can not only leave a strong impression but also significantly increase the chances of a successful outcome. Coffee plays a prominent role in the daily lives of the Vietnamese, and the most striking, creative, and sometimes extravagant coffee shops are popping up everywhere. The photographers' senses are put to the test as they attempt to capture this unique atmosphere and contrasts as strikingly as possible.
