Hidden beauty of Hanoi’s craft villages

Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage is deeply rooted in its traditional craft villages, where skilled artisans have passed down their techniques for generations. On this 12-hour private photography tour, we will uncover the hidden beauty of three remarkable craft villages, each offering a unique visual and cultural experience:

Vermicelli village – Capture the intricate process of making traditional rice vermicelli, from steaming and drying to the final golden strands laid out under the sun.
Bamboo craft village – Explore the artistry behind bamboo weaving, where locals create everything from baskets to intricate household items using age-old techniques.
Pottery village – Step into a world of clay and fire, where skilled potters shape, carve, and fire their ceramics by hand, continuing a centuries-old tradition.

This tour is designed for photographers of all levels—beginners, amateurs, enthusiasts, and semi-pros—as well as non-photographers who want to experience authentic Vietnamese craftsmanship up close. Through hands-on guidance, I’ll help you refine your skills in street and documentary photography, composition, lighting, and storytelling, ensuring that each shot tells a compelling visual story.
