Paul says: –

“We will start in the capital and we are based in the heart of the old quarter, a maze of traditional trading streets, markets and historical buildings.

From Hanoi we head out to the rural locations of Ninh Binh, Pu Luong and Moc Chou, where we are likely to be able to see and photograph some of the ethnic minority people.

Next, via a short internal flight, we visit the contrasting Central Region of Vietnam where we stay in both the ancient capital of Hue and the very photogenic and relaxing Hoi An”

At either the beginning or end of this tour, you may choose to extend your trip to enjoy a cruise on the famous Ha Long Bay, which we can arrange for you.

Paul is one of the UK’s most successful fine art photographers, selling photography to hang on people’s walls since becoming a professional in 2003.

Paul has been Highly Commended in the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year, has many times featured in Landscape Photographer of the Year and in 2017 won the first of several major awards in the Travel Photographer of the Year competition.

For the past eighteen years Paul has been leading three or four photography holidays each year to countries that include Italy, Morocco, Iceland, Myanmar and India.

We visit locations specifically because they offer good photo opportunities and spend much longer at any given location than a normal tour because photography can often need that little bit of patience to get the perfect shot.

In Vietnam, there is a good balance between landscape, people photography and the depiction of a foreign culture.

Paul says, “Whilst my background has been in landscape and wildlife photography I have the strongest passion for capturing the character and lifestyle of the Vietnamese people”.

There is group education at the beginning of the tour so that clients have an awareness of some creative and compositional ideas as well as a strong technical grounding in how to get the best results.

Paul is always available on location and the guidance given when alongside someone taking the photographs is probably the most instructive and beneficial.
