The Next 20 Months of Street and Travel Photography in Vietnam - Hardcover

Mark Aaron Coffield was born and raised in West Virginia, and he graduated from West Virginia University with a degree in elementary education and worked briefly as a junior high school teacher. In 1981, he moved into the athletic footwear industry where he's spent the majority of the last forty plus years (Nike, Dicks Sporting Goods, Specialized) as a successful professional. He's currently employed as country manager for the American company OrthoLite (pu insoles) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, overseeing a staff of more than 1,000 employees.

This book is Coffield's second following the publication in 2023 of 20 Months of Street and Travel Photography in Vietnam. The genesis for his interest in photography dates back to his high school days in West Virginia. For years he dabbled in the hobby, but it wasn't until he lived in Hong Kong that his hobby became his passion. He became fascinated with life in Southeast Asia and enamored with the idea of photographing his experiences. He challenged himself to improve his knowledge and skills to ensure he captures photos that encourage conversation and emotion. Since then-always working with a curious eye-he's invested countless hours in shooting and editing photos of the people and sites which make Vietnam unique.

When he's not viewing life through a lens, Coffield enjoys life with his wife and daughter in Ho Chi Minh City.
