Golden Vietnam Photography Workshop

Golden Vietnam is a 10-day small-group photography workshop timed around the harvest season in Northern Vietnam. From Hanoi and the Red River Delta to the golden rice terraces of Mu Cang Chai, Hue, and Hoi An, we photograph landscapes, rural life, traditional culture, people, and historic places in some of the country's most rewarding seasonal conditions.

Limited to six attendees and personally led by Tran Tuan Viet, the workshop combines daily photography sessions, hands-on guidance, and image reviews. The focus is on improving how you see, compose, and work with light while building a stronger and more consistent body of photographs.
