Vietnam Fishing village photography tours

Summary

Early in the morning, hundreds of fishing boats return to Nam Dinh beach after a night out fishing. And while husbands are busy pulling their boats ashore, their wives take over the catch, meticulously sort out the seafood and the catch is sold right by the beach. The buyers, in turn, transport the catch to restaurants in town. And that’s only a corner of the photo. Somewhere nearby, a group of other fishermen have already spread a net of several hundreds meters long, encircling a huge section of the water, each end of the net is pulled by 10 – 15 strong people. After a duration of hours, the catch is gathered ashore, sorted, and sold. Next to them, some other men are walking on stilts, scooping into the bed of the sea for small fish, with hope that the catch would weigh 10 kg or so. Every section of the beach can be a photography splendor in the gossamer early morning light. In the afternoon, groups of fisherman gather by the beach to fix their ill-equipped fishing boats, or torn fishing net. Come, as we take you to this magnificent place for photography.
