Why Choose Our Photography Workshops in Vietnam

Photographic Expertise

Tran Tuan Viet brings nearly 20 years of photographing Vietnam, with major photographic projects and exhibitions dedicated to the country, and work published in National Geographic magazines and photography books.

Over a decade ago, the media dubbed Viet "The man who brings Vietnam’s beauty to the world."

Deep Local Knowledge

Nearly two decades of exploring Vietnam have given Viet an exceptional understanding of its landscapes, culture, people, and traditions.

His firsthand knowledge extends from iconic destinations to lesser-known locations, including places he photographed long before they became popular photography spots.

Established in 2009

Founded by Tran Tuan Viet in 2009, Vietnam Photography Tours Ltd established the foundation for our photography travel business.

In 2025, Viet established Vietnam Photo Tours LLC as its successor, continuing as Founder & CEO of the fully licensed Vietnamese international tour operator.

The tour was well organised, with good locations, models, concepts. Hotel accommodation, restaurant selections and meals were excellent. I also really appreciated Viet, who was incredibly friendly and engaged with the group throughout the whole 10 days. Even though I am not the best photographer and constantly made mistakes, he was incredibly patient and dedicated to teaching me. He was always happy to offer great hands-on advice on camera settings, composition, and editing, making it a fantastic experience right up until we said our goodbyes at the airport.
