Creating a dynamic new set of headshots for Philip Teale, we aimed to capture two distinct personas: one reflecting his presence in a podcast studio, and the other showcasing him as a confident presenter. To bring this vision to life, we chose the Vietnam Podcast Studio, a space perfectly equipped with professional podcasting gear and a green screen setup.

As a photographer in Ho Chi Minh City, I’m often invited into people’s lives at pivotal moments. Recently, I had the privilege of documenting a family’s bittersweet farewell to the city they’ve called home for the last few years.

Every city has its secrets, and for photographers in Ho Chi Minh City, few places are as rewarding as the winding hems-those narrow alleyways where daily life unfolds in vibrant, unfiltered colour. In Thao Dien, District 2’s leafy, cosmopolitan enclave, there’s one particular hidden gem that calls to me again and again. Here, the city’s energy softens, and the details become stories waiting to be captured.
