Living in Ho Chi Minh City, I had to make a visit up to Vietnam’s capital. Hanoi quickly became one of my favorite city’s in Asia for street photography, with endless character, charm, places to shoot, and people just as photography friendly as back home in Saigon. Being thousands of years old, you feel the city’s age when exploring the streets. From a city of over 3 million people, there’s an authentic, old world atmosphere it exudes.
So here’s 33 photos that I was able to capture during my time in Hanoi…

Great work as usual… The mirror play on the 20th is really exceptional!
Thank you, Jacint! I always appreciate your comments and thoughts on the photos. Cheers!
Amazing work as always…are you still in Hanoi? Will be there next week, looking forward to many great Street Photography opportunities…
Thank you, Oliver! Unfortunately, I’m not in Vietnam right now. I’m heading to Cuba and then the states to visit family over the holidays. But you have a great time shooting in Hanoi! It’s a great city and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
Great pics! I guess that if I had to pick one it would probably be 22. Something about the story in that picture grabs me. Although probably i can look at them tomorrow in a different mood and select another one :)
