Travelling to North Vietnam in 2022: feel the winter bite!

By Etienne / February 25, 2022 / 0 Comments

It all started in 2021 when my wife suggested that we take another family road trip through Vietnam. We were going to drive up North to Thai Binh for the Tet holidays, so why not continue our journey to reach the mountains of North Vietnam? My wife and kids had never been there, and I…

I must say that after a year-long break with photography tours and workshops, it has felt good to get back to work, even if it wasn’t physically. The big news for me and Pics of Asia was of course the launch of my online travel photography courses in July. Over the first 4 months of…

April 2021 central Vietnam photography tour

By Etienne / May 5, 2021 / 1 Comment

Being based in a country that has managed the Covid crisis exceptionally well, we were lucky enough to be able to embark on a photography tour in central Vietnam on the last weekend of April 2021.  I decided to run this tour only twice this year (instead of every month) as many of my students…

Is Travel Photography Dead?

By Etienne / June 23, 2020 / 3 Comments

Ok, I know this above title sounds a bit clickbaity – and to be honest, it is – proclaiming anything to “be dead” always sounds alarmist. But really, I don’t see a bright future for the medium I love.  Travel photography is either already dead, or is turning into something so far removed from the…
