FAQ
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW-
My photography tours are aimed at everyone with a love of photography, from complete beginners to advanced photographers willing to discover an amazing city with a local eye. The tour experience is focused on openness, sharing and improvement.
-
A coffee or drink, breakfast for sunrise tours, transportation, photography guidance, smiles and lasting memories. I will also share a personal inspiration list and be available for feedback on your photos after the tour.
-
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.
-
As a general rule the rain never lasts long in Saigon, then either we will go under cover to continue to photograph or have a drink to review pictures and talk photography.
-
119 $ for a single person.
69 $ per participant for a group of 2 people.
59 $ per participant for a group of 3 to 5 people.
-
At the moment I only accept PayPal and cash on the spot.
PHOTOGRAPHY GUIDANCE-
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.
About Me
My name is Adrien
I have been residing in Vietnam since 2014, following my passion for travel and embracing diverse cultures in my new home, the vibrant Ho Chi Minh City. It was within this bustling metropolis that I have developed a lifelong relationship with photography, telling the story(ies) of everyday life through my lens in the streets of the former Saigon. I see photography as a bridge, allowing me to forge meaningful connections with local people and gain a profound understanding of their traditions & culture. As a long-term resident, I also regularly travel and photograph throughout Vietnam, documenting ethnic festivals and life in less-visited regions.
