The photogenic incense sticks
From early morning everyday, the incense sticks are shredded from bamboos. Then the dyeing process takes place, when a layer of red color is applied onto almost a half of the stick. The sticks are then dried out in the sun, in bundles. These bundles are arranged to look like small umbrellas in order to get as much light as possible. The sticks create a layer of deep red color on the photos. And any subject at the font, such as a worker, would stand out really well and eye-catching.
Later in the day, the sticks are collected, tied in bigger bundles before loading onto small trucks and travel to other places.

Hanoi
Our Vietnam photography tour destination today is a village located 1.5 hour driving from Hanoi. This is where the locals have long involved in making incense sticks. Then, the sticks travel to all over Vietnam to find themselves burning on family alters or in temples. Photographs of these sticks have been published on some famed channels, including CNN. And some others gained awards from Smithsonian photo contests.

This experience was nothing short of incredible. The blend of culture, photography, sightseeing, and history created something so unique and meaningful that I’ll carry with me long after the trip is over.

The guides were amazing. Loved learning all about the culture and meeting the beautiful people in the villages. The Vietnamese people are welcoming.

We had a fantastic 2 days in Hanoi with Momentlives. They did a great city tour one day. The train experience was a highlight. The 2nd day we did a full day photo tour of the incense and fish basket villages. . What a special experience to spend the day with people doing almost lost art.

Mike and James were fabulous guides, taking the time to teach us some photo lessons, providing cold water, and showing us the magic of rural life in Vietnam. Absolutely booking them again for any future trip!!

As a keen photographer, I normally stay away from actual photography tours so i like the flexible of keeping on my own time. However, after booking the 3 handicraft village tour that Momentlives took us on, I must say, it was an outstanding experience. James, our guide, was very knowledgable, gave us all the time we needed, helped compose shots and took us to some hidden gems along the way. I have heard some bad things about other Vientnam photo tours but can assure you, Momentlives strike the perfect balance between flexibility and knowledge to their organised tours. I will certianly be booking again on my next visit.

I booked this tour at the end of our trip to Asia and was super satisfied. The hotel pick-up is of course very early at 05.15 in the morning - but you gain impressions beyond the tourist crowds. We had breakfast on site in a restaurant - the soup with the crab meat was delicious (and the coffee prepared by my guide Mike was also delicious). My guide was extremely friendly and helped me a lot with the settings and compositions. He was also able to report interesting details from Vietnamese culture between North, South and Central Vietnam. Because he knows the villagers and talks to them, very different encounters also come about. Especially the encounter with a war veteran I found very impressive. A great experience that I highly recommend. Next time I would book the other villages as part of a day tour as well. This time I had to go to the airport in the afternoon.

I had an amazing experience on the photography tour in the incense village, and a huge part of that was thanks Son Trieu, who was exceptional as our guide. From the very beginning, he was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He knew exactly where to take us for the best light, colors, and compositions, and he timed everything perfectly so we could capture various phases of incense-making process at their most beautiful moments. Son didn’t just point out photo spots—he explained the traditions behind the village, introduced us respectfully to several local artisans and families, and made sure we were photographing in a way that felt authentic and ethical. His tips on angles, framing, and storytelling genuinely helped me improve my shots, and I came away with some of my favorite photos from my entire Vietnam trip. The tour was well-organized, relaxed, and inspiring, and I never felt rushed. If you’re a photographer, whether beginner or experienced, I highly recommend the tour and Son as a guide. A five-star experience from start to finish!

This was my first photo trip and it exceeded my expectations. Son takes great care in planning his excursions..they are authentic and you are totally immersed in the culture. Many times we were the only tourists in the areas we visited. Son’s attention to detail is impeccable. He knows the history of Vietnam and cares deeply about the photo set up. Any trip with Son is not to be missed.
