The Word - Ho Chi Minh City

Sometimes online videos go viral, and British photographer Rob Whitworth’s Traffic in Frenetic HCMC is one such work. A short time-lapse visual documenting the chaos of Ho Chi Minh City’s traffic, Whitworth has added a new, visually stunning dimension to an oft talked about, increasingly passé topic. James Allen caught up with the Hoi An-based photographer to find out how the project came to life and how he’s coping with overnight fame. Photos provided by Rob Whitworth Photography
