Located in the bustling heart of the city, Long Thanh Gallery showcases the work of Vietnam's most prominent photographer. Long Thanh developed his first photo in 1964 and continues to shoot extraordinary black-and-white images of everyday Vietnamese moments. The powerful images capture the heart and soul of Vietnam. Among his most compelling works, Under the Rain is a perfectly timed shot of two young girls caught in a sudden downpour, with a mysterious beam of sunlight streaming down on them.

Afternoon Countryside is another rare scene - a boy dashing across the backs of a herd of water buffalos submerged in a lake outside Nha Trang. From the images captured to their processing, there's an honesty to his work. The tactile process of mixing his own chemicals and developing the photos in a makeshift darkroom in his simple kitchen is an integral part of it. 'Colour' and 'digital' are dirty words in his book - let alone 'Photoshop'. His work has been honoured at photographic competitions around the world, showing internationally in nearly 60 group exhibitions, as well as solo exhibitions in Germany, Japan, Australia and the USA.
