I’m Wes, an American from Southern California — now a photographer based in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. Most days I’m here, camera in hand, exploring the coast or nearby backroads. When I get the chance, I head north or out of the country. Always looking for something real to shoot.
I shoot what’s in front of me — street scenes, daily life, the kind of stuff most people overlook. A vendor at work, an empty alley, a fisherman waiting it out. Simple moments, nothing staged. Just what’s there, when it’s there, no setups.
Before this, I shot concerts, edited video, and took portraits. Each job sharpened a skill. Moving to Vietnam forced me to slow down and focus on what’s happening around me — the way people live, the details most skip over.
Most days I’m on two wheels — sometimes with a motor, sometimes just my legs doing the work. It’s the best way I know to connect with where I am. The road keeps me thinking, and sometimes that thinking turns into photos and ideas.
This site is where I show the work — the shots, the stories, the things I’m still figuring out. If it clicks, follow along.
