I know...the composition is a mess...background like s$*t...and the crop...but still. Seated from front right - Boris, @borkaogonyok who perfectly led our first smartphone photography workshop at the Australian embassy - on his last day in Vietnam (again); Mansour @manz.awar on his way to Myanmar to lead an 8 day private photo adventure for VIF; Michael @michaelstanbury who is putting the finishing touches to our dazzling new website; me @alex.sheal who is running stuff and helping @z_fokion on the last stage of his forthcoming photography book Unseen Vietnam; Hai Yen, who is also running stuff, studying tourism management and being an amazing mum; and Duc Nguyen @duke.n_photography who is about to get really, really busy brilliantly leading VIF photo tours all around Vietnam during high season...It’s almost a VIF tradition not to take these kind of pics when we have the occasional get-together, but we had to break it today. Just seemed necessary. Thanks staff @pizza4ps for the shot. And shout out to absent @cristiansorega who is preparing for an 8 day private tour in central Vietnam at the end of the month. ViF go go go!

“We shot from dawn to dusk and even at night, with the locations well-scouted in advance. Taking advantage of unexpected opportunities, we even caught a hot air balloon festival in the Citadel at Hue, an historic site, a couple of weddings, and family life along the narrow-gauge railroad in Saigon. We met and pictured boatyard carpenters repairing colorful blue wooden fishing boats, ice factory workers loading boats, old men repairing fishing nets, and women selling small fish on the beach in Danang. We got fun pictures of life along the railroad tracks and of the men and women working the trains, like a sweet cook in the restaurant car's galley and flag men and women directing the movement of trains. We shot the sun rising over the sand dunes of Mui Ne on what we call the South China Sea (the Vietnam Sea) and early risers exercising on China Beach at daybreak. Skilled, thoughtful, and fun local experts took us to the highlights and markets of several major cities, too. It was a comprehensive, instructional, and inspirational voyage of discovery. My guides and tutors became good friends who went out of their way time and again to enhance the travel experience and photographic learning curve. They were thoughtful and patient, yet diligent and persistent as they led me to experience Vietnam (and this was my third visit) in new dimensions. An amazing trip!” (Bill,USA) We hit the tracks again for Vietnam by Rail on September 7th 2019. To find out more about this once in a lifetime photo adventure, tap the link in our bio.

This September our Golden Harvest photo tour takes

This September our Golden Harvest photo tour takes us across the ripening rice terraces of northwest Vietnam, before we climb into Ha Giang province’s otherworldly rocky plateau. We’ve been traveling and photographing in this region for many years now, but the landscapes and people still blow our minds every time. All pictures by Golden Harvest tour leader Duc Nguyen.
