A coffee or drink, breakfast for sunrise tours, transportation, photography guidance, genuine smiles, and lasting memories. I’ll also share a personal inspiration list and remain available for feedback on your photos after the tour.
-
I focus on small-group photography tour (maximum of 5 participants) to ensure each photographer receives ample individual attention and support. Keeping the group small also helps us blend in and minimize our impact on local life.

I offer a pick-up service for centrally located hotels. If you’re staying outside my pick-up area, I’ll kindly ask you to meet at a central location.

The best camera is the one you already own! Whether you use a DSLR, mirrorless, compact camera, or even a smartphone, all are welcome - these tours are all about composition and creativity.

Beyond camera gear, wear lightweight, hot-weather-appropriate clothing and closed shoes for optimal comfort.

PHOTOGRAPHY GUIDANCE
-
You’ll get to explore an authentic side of Ho Chi Minh City while enhancing your photography skills. Before the tour, I’ll send you a short to understand your photography level, interests, and goals, allowing me to tailor the experience to your needs. After the tour, I’ll stay in touch to provide feedback on your photos and share educational resources to help you progress further.
I see myself as a facilitator, here to support your learning journey and help you gain confidence in your photography.
-
We’ll start with a brief discussion on the technical aspects—exposure triangle, focusing methods, and camera settings—so they don’t get in the way of your photography. I’ll also share my vision of photography and what, in my opinion, makes a great street photograph.
During the tour, I’ll guide you on how to approach people respectfully to capture more compelling photographs. We’ll focus on storytelling techniques to create impactful visual narratives, exploring creative use of light, color harmony, perspectives, leading lines, sub-framing, and more.
About Me
My name is Adrien
I have been living in Vietnam since 2014, drawn by my passion for travel and the richness of diverse cultures. Ho Chi Minh City, my vibrant home, is where I developed a deep connection with photography - capturing everyday life’s story(ies) in the streets of the former Saigon.
To me, photography is more than just an art form; it’s a bridge that allows me to connect with people, understand their traditions, and share their stories. As a long-term resident, I also travel extensively across Vietnam, documenting ethnic festivals and life in lesser-known regions.
