The Success Story Behind Réhahn And His 75-Year-Old Vietnamese Model (5 Pics)

t is during the summer of 2011 in Hoi An that it all began. Réhahn, the photographer, who was at the time a tourist with great interest for Vietnam, met Bui Thi Xong, a Vietnamese woman aged 74 years old at the time of their encounter.
This is the incredible story of an elder Vietnamese lady that has become an iconic figure of Vietnam after posing for the French photographer.

Little did this 75-year-old boat-rower know that this soon-to-be iconic photo would change her life


She was a shy and poor lady not used to seeing herself in photos, so she hid her face by reflex


Réhahn used her portrait as his book cover because for him it represented the joy of life despite old age and poverty


The photographer promised the lady that if his book becomes successful, he would buy her a new boat because the old one she had would scare off the tourists


After 6 months, the world recognized the hidden beauty behind the photo – Mrs Xong appeared on TV broadcast 5 times, became the most famous woman in Vietnam and, with a new boat, her tourism business is striving as never


Children Born Of Rape Pose To Show That They’re Beautiful And Can Be Loved Too (15 Pics)

I produced this work in August 2014 in an effort to empower children born of rape and women survivors of sexual violence and to promote peace. For years, the city of Goma, in the Democratic republic of the Congo, witnessed horrific war crimes and sexual violence against children, women and sometimes men. All these people were used as a weapon of war.
In the recent years, more and more local initiatives and international programs have been developed to help survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence during war to reintegrate to the society and take their life back in control.
In this series of pictures, you will discover the life of Esther, a little girl born of rape, going through all the big milestones of her life: her birth, her first steps, her first day at school, her wedding.
All the children you see on the pictures are born of rape…all the women have been involved in sexual abuse. They are no longer victims. They are beautiful survivors who want the world to look at them as such!

Look at me I am beautiful
