The colorful incense fields of Quang Phu Cau craft village are featured in Daniel Kordan's aerial photographs.
Renowned photographer Daniel Kordan has just unveiled a series of photos of Vietnam on his personal website, sparking interest in the photography and travel communities.
According to the 35-year-old photographer, his intention was to showcase Vietnam's natural beauty through his own lens, highlighting the unique and harmonious interplay between nature and man.
On his recent trip to Vietnam, Daniel's first stop was Quang Phu Cau, a village on the outskirts of Hanoi. "The village is where artisans have been handcrafting incense sticks for generations," he wrote. "This unique and vibrant place is a feast for the eyes, and you can either use your camera or a drone to get a top bird's eye view of the iconic scene! Get ready to create award-winning images that are truly special and will stimulate the senses long after you've left this magical place," he added.
Currently based in Bali, Indonesia, Kordan is a landscape photographer. He regularly travels to many places around the world including Japan, Myanmar, Antarctica, Iceland, Italy and most recently Vietnam.
