Hanoi by Night

Explore the excitement of Hanoi in low-light

Hanoi by Night, capturing the bustle of evening life around some of the city’s most characteristic corners and intriguing landmarks. We start out with sunset at Emperor Bao Dai’s derelict seaplane port on West Lake, now a spot for local fishermen and trendy kids. From here, we head round tranquil Truc Bach Lake, towards a traditional night market, an atmospheric location for shooting with reflections and frames. After a street photography session in some busy areas for local cuisine, we’ll pass by Tran Quoc Pagoda, the oldest Buddhist temple in the capital. We finish up with the changing of the guard at Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum, an event as photogenic for the gathered local crowds as the ceremony itself. It all makes for an unforgettable evening exploring a photographer’s Hanoi.
