Hotel pick-up.
We start the tour on historic Long Bien Bridge, Yen Phu Street. After introductions, and a brief look at the story behind the bridge, there is an overview of camera settings. We then head up to Long Bien Bridge to shoot the Establishing picture.
Time now to move into Long Bien market, Hanoi's biggest wet market, to learn how to shoot Relationship pictures. Our focus is on how to take naturalistic photos of people at work and play.
In Dong Xuan market, we continue with Relationship pictures. The market was originally built by the French in 1889, although it has undergone several renovations. The emphasis here is on architecture and scene.
Now we head into the Old Quarter streets, especially Hang Thiec and Thuoc Bac streets. Traditionally, each of Hanoi’s 36 streets specialized in certain goods – ‘hang’ means ‘goods’. On most of these streets you can still guess the main commodities right away. Our focus here is on street photography and portraiture: we learn how to approach and interact with people for quality portraits.
We move on to explore Hang Vai, Phung Hung and the railway tracks. In this part of town, people live right alongside the railway, and we have a chance to look closely at their unique way of life. Our photographic focus is on composition of photos and storytelling.
We end the tour at Café Zoom, 46 Hang Vai Street, for a light meal and coffee, followed by a 1 hour professional selection and editing session.
