The photobook consists of 130 photos divided into three categories of colour, monochrome and retouched photos. The photos mostly capture young Vietnamese women in the traditional ao dai or yếm (Vietnamese camisole).

The pictures were taken in various settings, including northern villages with ancient architectures, wells, bridges, lotus lakes and paddy fields, among others.
