Discover premium Vietnam photography workshops created for photographers who want to explore the country with stronger photographic purpose. Each journey combines carefully researched locations, seasonal timing, local access, and practical guidance in the field, with opportunities to photograph Vietnam’s landscapes, culture, people, traditional crafts, and everyday life.
Our workshops are designed by Tran Tuan Viet, an award-winning Vietnamese photographer, National Geographic contributor, and Canon Ambassador. Selected departures are personally led by Viet, while others are led by experienced, award-winning Vietnamese photographers chosen for their photographic expertise, local knowledge, and ability to work closely with small groups.
Since 2009, our photography journeys have taken photographers beyond conventional sightseeing. Groups are kept small, with private transportation, carefully arranged photography access, thoughtfully selected accommodation, and itineraries built around light, timing, and photographic potential. Every workshop is operated by Vietnam Photo Tours LLC, a fully licensed Vietnamese tour operator.

Hi Viet, thanks again for a great tour and for sharing your beautiful country with us. Safe travels home my friend.
Thanks Viet !! Great workshop! Amazing Country! Great group! It was so much fun and Vietnam 🇻🇳 ❤️
Thank you, Viet, for an amazing trip. And thanks to my fellow travelers for the memories. Let us know how you’re doing.
And I can’t wait to see the pictures!
This was an intense but very rewarding photography tour. The itinerary gave me a much deeper view of Vietnam than I could have arranged on my own, from village scenes and traditional crafts to coastal landscapes, fishermen, and local life. June was warm, so the early starts made sense and often gave us the best light. Viet was attentive, practical, and generous with his knowledge throughout the trip ❤️
A very comprehensive photography journey across Vietnam, with a good balance of cultural subjects, coastal life, portraits, and landscapes. June was hot in several places, especially in central Vietnam, but the early starts and carefully planned sessions helped us work in better light. I particularly enjoyed Hue, Hoi An, Phu Yen, and the salt field scenes. Thank you, Viet, for your patience, guidance, and for organizing access to so many distinctive locations.
