Saigon Grafitti Soldier, Vietnam 1964 by Michael Joseph

Saigon Soldier — Vietnam, 1964

Photograph by Michael Joseph | Limited Edition 1/20

A striking glimpse of Saigon in 1964, photographed by Michael Joseph at just 23 years old during his journey through Vietnam.

A young soldier stands beside a military vehicle, his relaxed pose contrasting with the machinery surrounding him. Rather than focusing solely on conflict, Joseph turns his camera towards the individual — capturing a quiet, spontaneous human moment amid the growing tensions of Vietnam.

Part of Michael Joseph’s previously unseen 1964 Vietnam archive, brought to light more than sixty years later.
