The H'mong people is one of the largest hill tribes groups in Vietnam (population is apprx. 600,000). They often occupy and live on the mountainous and remote areas, mainly in the Northern part of Vietnam. Based on the costums they are wearing, and some dialects they are speaking, H'mong people can be sub-divided in smaller groups such as: Black, Red, Blue, White, Green and Flower H'mong.

Hello Stormboy,
Very interesting picture with excellent colours. Are they deliberately posing for you, or did you manage to capture them in such a relaxed way?
Best regards,
Gert

Just a great photo here...wonderful clarity and sharpness, and your subjects are just beautiful. Such stunning costumes in this area of Vietnam. The faces you've captured are quite lovely. Very nicely done.
