"I want to introduce the natural beauty of the country from the perspective of highlighting unique forms and the harmonious balance between human activities and nature," Daniel Kordan said about his series of aerial photos of Vietnam.
Ban Gioc - a 'unique' waterfall on the Quay Son River, including many waterfalls, in Chongqing district, Cao Bang province
Daniel said that Ban Gioc waterfall is difficult to photograph due to "regulations on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles", requiring "careful planning"

One of Daniel's favorite photos is the rice terraces in Mu Cang Chi, Yen Bai. "The green steps are deeply ingrained in the mountainside, showing both natural beauty and human ingenuity," he said. This photo stands out to him because it "perfectly encapsulates the unique blend of nature and culture that makes Vietnam special"
"In addition to its natural beauty, it is the Vietnamese people, with their warmth, resilience and deep connection to the land, that make this country truly special. This connection is evident in every aspect of their lives, from the way they farm to the way they interact with the environment," he added
