A CLOSER LOOK
After 15 years of running photography tours in Vietnam, I have selected the best areas for this amazing 12-day photography tour. Join us in the remote mountain areas, away from the tourist tracks, to capture the rice harvest and minority markets and villages. Follow us then into my home of Hoi An in central Vietnam to capture stunning scenes of the people at work.Â
Â
Our mission is to drive through the mountains and coastal region, take photos when opportunities arise, and have a lot of fun and food while improving your photography skills.
About Vietnam
What makes Vietnam so special? Why do I run so many photography tours here?
You could say the scenery. it is pretty special. Rice field terraces and shiny lagoons.Â
You could say it's the weather. it's nice to feel the cool wind at night in the mountains and the glorious sunrises on the beach.Â
But really it's the people you meet and the opportunities that present themselves. The ones that make you feel like you have stepped back in time 100 years and are the first people to discover an untouched area. Soaring mountain peaks and lush green valleys full of minority people bursting with smiles and friendly faces. As curious about you as you are about them. It is an experience that cannot be matched. And that's why we return. Year after year. It is always a journey of discovery. Nothing is ever the same. and yet it always feels familiar.Â

Preparation
01. What's Included
In all our tours we strive to make things easy so everyone can focus entirely on photography. This is the reason why our rates include everything during the tour: accommodation, transportation, all meals, and even tips to local people. What is not included is your international flight, visa, travel insurance, and souvenir purchase.
02. Group Size
Like in all our tours led by two photographers we limit the number of participants to 8, for better and more personalized coaching. As it is the case in my tours, we will mostly focus on people and ways to take their photos, in travel or street photography style. As we are doing photo critiques and Lightroom tutorials, make sure to take your laptop / iPad.
03. Accomodation & Transportation
Because of how remote some of the places we go to are, we will be staying in a few homestays. These homestay are comfortable, and all participants will have their own room. For all other nights we will stay in city hotels.
