I focus on small-group photography tour (maximum 5 participants) in order to offer every photographer enough of individual attention and support. I also prefer to keep it small to avoid disturbing local life more than necessary.

I offer pick-up service in centrally located hotels. For guests staying outside of my pick-up area, I will kindly request a meeting point in the center.

The best camera is the one you already own! Any cameras being DSLR, hybrids, compacts and even smartphones are welcome as the tours are truly about composition and creativity. In terms of lenses, bring a prime lens (35 or 50mm) if you have and a standard zoom lens. You also need one or two fully-charged batteries and enough memory cards to go through the day. Besides camera gear, make sure you wear light, hot weather appropriate clothing and closed shoes for optimal comfort.

You can expect to discover an authentic side of Ho Chi Minh City while improving your photography. I will send you a form to fill prior to the tour to know more about your photography level, interests and goals in order to customize the tour to fit those. I will also stay in touch after the tour to give you feedback on your photos and provide you with education tools to go further. I see myself as a facilitator who will support your learning process and help you to empower yourself in your journey through the lens.

We will briefly discuss the technical side (exposure triangle, ways to focus, how to set your camera…) so that settings don’t get in the way of your photography. I will tell you about my vision of photography and what makes a great street photograph in my opinion. During the tour, I will also explain how to approach people in an appropriate way to capture more intimate and expressive photographs. We will focus on effective ways to tell impactful visual stories and work a scene through different techniques such as creative use of light, art of matching colors, use of perspectives and leading lines, sub-framing, and more.
