Travelers who are stuck at home are hungry to see and experience travel, but can not. Moreover, the majority of photographers travel bloggers who usually blaze travel paths, share stories, and photos from travel, are laying low.
These factors contribute to a slowing of the tourism engine globally and in Vietnam. This slowdown is also creating a vacuum of consumers who enjoy seeing pictures and reading stories of travel but now cant.
I find myself in a unique position. I have been living and working in Vietnam for seven months. When COVID exploded, I stayed in Vietnam to ride out the storm. Now with quarantine coming to an end, I want to help my Vietnamese friends and provide media for those who enjoy reading travel.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_image=”228″ back_repeat=”repeat” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ back_size=”initial”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=”0″ overlay_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”90″ gutter_size=”3″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1561245327881{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/1″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_uppercase=””]Here is whats going to happen :[/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]
This project intends to:
- Raise more awareness of Vietnam and its beauty.
- Encourage people to come to explore the country.
- Create a body of photography artwork highlighting Vietnam.
The way I intend to accomplish this.
My self and a local Vietnamese photographer will set out for a two-month cross country travel on motorbikes. We will leave from Hoi An in central Vietnam and travel North. From their journey through the mountain passes next to China. We will continue down along the Ho Chi Minh Trail with Laos and into the deep South. Touring the Mekong Delta and a few of the islands, then back North again to Hoi An. This journey will take about two months.
While on the road, we will be posting photos each day to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and various other social media channels. Also, we will be publishing blog posts in both Vietnamese and English about the stories we encounter.
Each day we estimate between 10 to 20 great photos taken on DSLR equivalent cameras (600 – 1,200 photos in total), along with 2 photos posted to Instagram daily, and 2 to facebook (*from either edited photos or camera photos).
Additionally, each week we will be posting two articles at 500 words or more to a blog and additional media platforms.
After returning to Hoi An, we will select a body of work to use in a gallery opening. We will also publish a photo journal book about this experience along with selected stories.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image media=”1602″ media_width_percent=”100″ shadow=”yes” shadow_weight=”std” shadow_darker=”yes”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”50″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”5″ bottom_padding=”5″ back_image=”618″ back_repeat=”no-repeat” back_attachment=”fixed” parallax=”yes” overlay_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”80″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=”yes” position_vertical=”middle” align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1/1″ column_width_pixel=”900″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h6″ text_size=”h3″ text_transform=”uppercase” text_color=”color-xsdn”]This cant be done alone…[/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h1″]Here is where we need your sponsorship
