Mr. Do Minh Tan regularly posts photos of his hometown of Ben Tre in tour groups on social media, and he receives a lot of love from the online community. Through the lens of photography, the 'coconut capital' appears peaceful and poetic in the early sun.

Mr. Do Minh Tan was born in 1991 in Hưng Nhượng commune, Giồng Trôm district. He works as a silversmith but enjoys photographing his hometown of Ben Tre. He photographed in the Mỏ Cày Bắc, Ba Tri, and primarily in his hometown of Giồng Trôm.
Mr. Minh Tan told us that he always wanted to capture the beloved rustic images of coconut land because he loved his homeland. He couldn't afford a camera, so he wandered around the countryside with his phone, capturing images of his childhood memories.
