Welcome to Vietnam!

On January 16, 2023, my wife and I had the pleasure to be escorted by Adrien Jean of Adrien Jean Photography in the wonderful area of Cho Lon in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.  From the first time Adrien and I exchanged emails, I had a feeling that this was going to be a special day and it certainly was.  Adrien was so commutative and prompt in responding to me that I knew he was conscientious and professional.  Adrien was punctual (promptly at 5:30AM) with our pickup at the hotel and off we went for our adventure.  The weather was perfect, and we spent the next four hours walking, touring, and taking incredible images.  He knew this area of “Old Saigon'' like the back of his hand.  His familiarity allowed us to see places and get vantage points that we would not have achieved had we had been on our own.  In addition to his enthusiasm and character, his acumen for the technique of photography was incredible.  As a professional myself, it's always great to be with someone who understands the craft and skills needed to take “good” images.  After a few minutes of meeting Adrien, we were old friends and soulmates through the wonder of photography.  He even bought us a snack and coffee during our walk and then delivered us back safely to our hotel with thankfulness and many memories.  Our day spent together was the first of thirty-two we spent in Vietnam and what a way to start our adventure.  I shared my images with Adrien along our way and he was always ready to acknowledge them and offer words of encouragement.  Should you get a chance to visit Vietnam and are looking for a wonderful guide and even better human being I would strongly encourage you to contact Adrien.
