Capture one of Asia’s most vibrant markets at dawn on a photography tour of Long Bien Market. Learn the art of great travel photography while exploring one of Asia’s most exciting markets.

Join us before sunrise at bustling Long Bien Market, as thousands of deliveries from the provinces and farther-flung regions of Vietnam provide the traders with stock. From century-old Long Bien Bridge, learn how to introduce a photo storey with a ‘context’ or ‘landscape’ shot.

Your vantage point gives you a stunning view over the brightly-lit market, traders, couriers, and customers barging this way and that between the stalls. Then, head down into the market, rubbing shoulders with the locals and exploring portraits and relationship shots.

There’s a great deal to explore, with colourful fruit stalls, workers unloading trucks, and a fish and meat market with some very talkative traders down by the river. As the sun rises, the market slows down, and catch shots of the locals doing their morning exercises near the city’s Water Tower.

Finish up with a delicious bowl of local ‘pho’ and a strong Hanoi coffee while reviewing your pictures from the tour.
