This Summer, Kate, took our tour before embarking on a South East Asia trip. We have been following her blog as she travelled through Thailand, Laos and now Vietnam.

She has some fantastic photos and describes the crazy cab drivers in Hanoi.

We love it when our customers get a chance to try out some of the skills we were able to teach on our tour.

Review of Shutter Tours on Yelp.com

“Our guide was the informative and enthusiastic Ms. Valentina, who provided guidance on composition, and encouraged to get close, look for patterns, and tell stories with our photos. Along the way she explained a particular concept and then raised her own camera for a shot to show us examples. Her photo book also provided more examples and helped me see each concept more clearly. I see lines and curves where I never paid much attention to them previously. Who knew that Post Alley could be such an alluring subject? ”
