German photographer Christian Berg lives and works in HCM City. He has a degree in Southeast Asian studies and is fluent in English, German and Vietnamese. His photos have been featured in several prestigious newspapers such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, National Geographic Traveler, Glamour, and Forbes.

Christian arrived in Vietnam 13 years ago and fell in love with the beautiful country.

Christian says simplicity is the key to taking beautiful photos in Hoi An, especially in the late afternoon sunlight.

Natural light also plays an important role in taking the best photos, says Christian.

Getting to know locals is an important way to show emotional depth in his photos.
