Highlights

Discover a fascinating part of Danang little-known to tourists while learning the fundamentals of travel and documentary photography.  We explore the city’s bustling waterfront as it wakes for the new day, and deep-sea trawlers bring in their overnight catch. Fishermen carry their haul in bamboo coracles to a small curve of beach, where a vibrant market awaits. On the horizon, traditional teakwood trawlers lay at anchor in the East Sea as the rising sun turns the sky gold. It’s a spectacular start to a unique photographic adventure, and we’ll be looking at composition for stunning landscapes, shooting in low-light, and how to capture people amidst busy activity. From seascapes and markets, our photographic focus turns to portraits of working life, as we head up to Danang port. We mingle with ice-loaders, and capture the rhythms of their sweat-drenched labour.  It all makes for an unforgettable adventure in Danang’s maritime heart, with stunning pictures to document it.

    Danang city beach. Fishermen are bringing their overnight catch in from the East Sea, rowing tiny coracle boats across the tide. On the beach, a lively market is already underway, as traders sort and sell the haul. After an introduction to the tour and the 3 picture story, we’ll be focusing on shooting in lowlight. We begin with an establishing shot to set the scene as the sun rises, then move into the market to work on relationship and portrait shots

    Danang Harbour. We now head through the waking streets toward the harbour. We’ll stop for a quick coffee on the way, review what we’ve learned so far, and feedback on some of the shots we’ve taken. We cross the bridge over Danang harbour, and have another chance for a great establishing shot, overlooking the scene. Hundreds of blue Vietnamese fishing boats, many flying the national flag, dock together here. The city’s modern skyline forms the background.

    The Doc's Time to enter the harbour, where workers are shuttling and loading ice for the boats. We’ll look in more detail at how to create a story around people’s work, with composition techniques for relationship and portrait shots. In the harbour, we then explore the boat building area, workers hammering, sawing and fitting the pieces of these huge vessels together. We head out of the harbour now to a nearby cafe, with a local breakfast and time to review pictures take during the tour. Minibus pick up and return to your hotel
