HaiLeCao, whose real name is Le Cao Hai (37 years old), is a freelance photographer, living and working mainly in Hanoi. Currently, he is spending his time resting in Hai Phong. To relieve his "itchy" work, he occasionally carries his camera and wanders around the "red phoenix flower" city to record the rhythm of life of the people here and share it with people who are passionate about photography on social networks.
One of HaiLeCao's impressive products recently is a photo series about Do Son beach.
According to HaiLeCao's description, if Hai Phong is like a smooth, white, stylish girl in the city, then Do Son is like a country girl, working hard all year round, letting the dust of silt cover her pure, graceful beauty.
Do Son does not have clear blue water, white sand with romantic coconut groves. It is covered with a humble water color full of alluvial breath, which makes Do Son a bit less attractive at first. You have to slow down a few beats to feel the beauty here, a very different beauty.
“The beauty of Do Son is the rustic peace of the countryside, the salty smell of the sea, the simple lifestyle of fishermen around the sea. The way the female traders carry baskets to get goods while waiting in a very orderly, harmonious manner, not rushing like a long-formed habit. The security guard leisurely drinks tea and water instead of shouting and yelling at everyone about traffic awareness. The people leisurely fishing, collecting oysters from the rocks early in the morning to find a meal to change their taste, they are not simply going to exploit food but for them it is a meeting with friends and neighbors to chat about family and life stories, every girl is smiling”, HaiLeCao shared.
