Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam became my base this year, and a chance to stay in one spot during all my travel. That being said, I was only able to spend 3 months there so far before leaving to Europe for the summer. And some of that time was spent traveling outside the city. Still, 2+ months, while having an apartment in the heart of Saigon, gave me plenty of time to explore and photograph this lively city.
But for now, here’s 33 photos that I was able to capture during my time in Saigon…

A fantastic collection, well done. I got my street photo bug in Saigon a few years ago, the city & the country is a photographer’s dream destination. You have captured the essence of the city accurately & brilliantly. Will give my favs in a future post
Many thanks, Mark!! It’s a great city and country. I appreciate your feedback on your favs too. Cheers!

Hi! Nice photos! My favourites are 15, 28 and 31. Last year I was able to visit Ho-Chi-Minh and I felt like a little kid in a candy store. I’m from Portugal and I was amazed by the diversity of the city and the people were so nice. I really enjoyed photographing there and I made a promise to myself to go back there in a few years. Do you instagram or flickr where I can see more of your work?
Hi Walker! Since you didn’t publish your HCMC guide yet, I have a quick request – could you point out few places / districts worth going out for a session? I’m here until end of week and would like to use them well :-) Cheers!
Hi! I’m in Cuba right now so internet and using my computer here is impossible, but I hope you got the email I sent you with different recommendations on places to shoot. Cheers and enjoy Saigon!
These are outstanding photos! Great depth in many of these photos, like #28.
I have three days there in April and looking forward to shooting in the streets. Thanks for the inspiration!
Many thanks, Jeff, appreciate it! You should really enjoy it, there’s a lot to like.
Awesome ! wish I took more street pics in Saigon. What camera did you use may I ask?
I used the Fujifilm X-pro 1 for most of my work in Saigon, but upgraded to the X-pro 2. Thanks for the comment, Brian! Saigon is a great city.
