Best money a street photographer can spend - If you are an experienced pro, an amateur street photographer, or new to photography this will be the best money you have spent in a very long time. This tour has been the highlight of my Vietnam trip so far. Fred is not only an experienced pro, but he can meet you at your level. I was amazed at how much I learned from him (I’ve been shooting street for 25 years all over the world). He took me to old Saigon and I saw and shot things I would’ve never found on my own. It was immersive. His knowledge of the local history and architecture was fascinating. Lightings tips, composition, and how to take street portraits respectfully. Just take the tour. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I’d share some photos but I am still editing. 😂

Great photography experience! Very helpful, fun and exciting - 10/10 - We had a great time exploring the hidden alleys and side streets of Ho Chi Minh City with Fred! Took some great shots and learned not only a lot about street photography from a pro, but also a little bit about the history of the city. Can definitely recommend this tour to beginner photographers, more advanced photographers, but also anyone just interested in learning about street photography. Fred taught us not only what camera settings are best for certain street scenes and how to be faster with manual focus, but it also how to get certain shots using just an iPhone. We had a great time on this tour, it was worth every penny! Thanks Fred! Paul & Nadja

A super fun and informative intro to street photography! - An absolutely amazing tour! Fred is a brilliant teacher, really encouraging and offering so much knowledge and useful tips to help me learn how to use my camera and improve my street photography skills. The tour brings you to diverse locations so you can practice different photography styles, and I also really enjoyed chatting to Fred about the history of Saigon and life in general! Super personalised and fun tour, I'm really looking forward to putting all I've learned into use to make great photos on the rest of my travels 😊
