Adrian

Highlight of my Saigon trip

Last week I did three photo walks with Adrien. It was my first time in Saigon and these walks were the absolute highlight of my time there. The city is full of interesting people and things to photograph and Adrien's local knowledge, technical expertise and his enthusiasm for sharing them, very much enhance the experience. He has many contacts and friends in the streets we passed through and this made our tours both more enjoyable and more productive as many of those we met were used to, and comfortable with, being photographed. I learned a lot during our walks, both about the city and its residents and about technical matters that will help improve my photography. Adrien offers much more than just the walks. He gave me a short talk at the beginning of the first session, including tips about how to make the best of our time and also handed me a very nicely produced booklet capturing these details and containing some of his superb photographs. He sent me a follow-up email with ideas about further reading and films and photographers that have inspired him so that I can further develop my skills. He is extremely well-organized, professional and has a good sense of humour too. I am very happy to recommend him to anyone interested in photography, or just in Saigon. I look forward to future photo walks with him.
