The Austrian photographer Josef Höflehner has taken elegant black and white photos about Vietnam, which shows up a strange beauty.


 


Josef Höflehner has traveled around the world to capture many beautiful places with his camera. After 2 visits to Vietnam, in 2007 and 2012, he then introduced a set of unusual black-and-white photos of Vietnam.


 


Höflehner found a lot of different perspectives about the country and people of Vietnam and recorded them in black-and-white photos. The pictures are highly praised by the audience


 


In his 2nd visit in April 2012, Josef Höflehner  spent two weeks to visit the three regions in Vietnam and returned to the places he had visited five years ago. From Hanoi to Ha Long Bay, through his lens, the splendid landscapes of Vietnam are both familiar and strange both, because of the colors as well as the obsession that they give the viewer.


 


The most beautiful photos posted on Höflehner’s site are as follows:
