Garel, Alexandre: - French-born Alexandre Garel has lived in Ho Chi Minh City since 2011 and has made his mark in the creative scene in Vietnam and in France as an architectural photographer, photo-journalist and travel photographer. Alexander's photo books entitled "Saigon: Portrait of a City" and "Yangon: Portrait of a City" are in production for release in 2019. These books focus on the historical heritage of those locations since he is passionate about old buildings and their life and history. He is fearless and able to climb through old abandoned buildings to bring them back to life. His photographs of heritage buildings in Ho Chi Minh City illustrated an article in USA Today on 5 March 2017 entitled "Vietnam's architectural gems are disappearing." Alexandre can be found on Instagram as saignonsnaps.
