Highlights
  • ĐT481 - Early in the morning, hundreds of fishing boats return to Nam Dinh beach after a night out fishing. And while husbands are busy pulling their boats ashore, their wives take over the catch, meticulously sort out the seafood and the catch is sold right by the beach. The buyers, in turn, transport the catch to restaurants in town.

And that’s only a corner of the photo. Somewhere nearby, a group of other fishermen have already spread a net of several hundreds meters long, encircling a huge section of the water, each end of the net is pulled by 10 – 15 strong people. After a duration of hours, the catch is gathered ashore, sorted, and sold. Next to them, some other men are walking on stilts, scooping into the bed of the sea for small fish, with hope that the catch would weigh 10 kg or so.

Every section of the beach can be a photography splendor in the gossamer early morning light.

In the afternoon, groups of fisherman gather by the beach to fix their ill-equipped fishing boats, or torn fishing net.

Come, as we take you to this magnificent place for photography.

Only the Best! - My second time with this group. Each excellent. They are beyond my expectations, and plan to go with them again in May 2024. They are so good I keep going back with them. They take us to excellent places that tourists do not typically go, and we get authentic and beautiful experiences.

More than I could have expected. - I was on a 10 day photo trip with a small group. Momentlives were our local tour guides and the ones who made all the in-country accommodations, domestic flights, ground transportation, and arranged all our meals for the ten days. They are also experienced photographers who have made it there goal to know where and when to photograph as many locations in Vietnam as they can possibly scout. We started in Hanoi where we toured places like the midnight market, many fantastic location in and around Hanoi as well as the surrounding country side. We then took a domestic flight to the central part of Vietnam. What a beautiful country and the people were so friendly and tolerant of photographers capturing images of everything they were doing. I give credit to Trieu Son and Hoa Nguyen Duc for developing the relationship with the local people and in some cases the local leaders for this kind of access. I got the most fantastic images in this part of Vietnam. One of them was chosen by our local newspaper as a winning image in their annual “Travel Photograph of the Year” contest. We took another domestic flight down to Saigon and again Son and Hoa knew exactly where we would get the opportunity to capture wonderful images. The accommodation they arranged through out the trip were always the best available at that location, most 4 and 5 start hotels or resorts and even the locations that did not have that classy of accommodation, they found us wonderful places to stay and made up for not being 5 star by having a wonderful location, view, and staff that were great. I just can’t say enough about Son and Hoa of Momentlives, they were so friendly, knowledgeable of both Photography and the in-country travel/accomidations, and Food.
