During Tết, Ho Chi Minh City comes alive with vibrant celebrations that blend tradition and modern energy. Streets are decorated with bright flowers, lanterns, and banners wishing prosperity for the new year, while families gather to honor ancestors and share special meals.
Popular spots like Nguyễn Huệ Flower Street and Chợ Lớn (Chinatown) are filled with colorful displays, lion dances, and bustling markets selling festive goods.
The city’s mix of fireworks, cultural performances, and family traditions makes Tết one of the most joyful and important times of the year in Vietnam’s largest metropolis, not to mention, a fantastic place to photograph!
During this 9-day workshop, participants will be working on honing their visual narrative skills and learning how to build a story while discovering everything that this spectacular city has to offer.

This will be a hands-on workshop in which all participants will be mentored by Jorge Delgado-Ureña along with support from Christelle Enquist. As the objective of this workshop is to work on visual storytelling, each participant will be creating their own magazine.
Participants will be expected to fully immerse themselves, push their boundaries and rise up to the challenges that they are given. This also means that the workshop itinerary is not fixed and will be adapted according to the opportunities that arise while on the ground, and the stories that participants want to focus on.
Individual review: The workshop will begin with a review of your work with the aim of evaluating your level and in order to discuss your objectives during your stay in Vietnam.
Visual Storytelling: Discussions on how to create a visual line in your stories and overall work whilst developing your own style. This will be one of the main objectives during the workshop and assignments will be given to each participant to develop your storytelling technique over the course of the nine days.
- Editing: Knowing how to select your photos is just as important as actually taking the photos themselves. Throughout the course time will be spent learning how to edit and putting these learnings into practice.
- Sequencing: The final part of telling a story is to sequence the photographs in a way that is meaningful. Content, Colour, rhythm, form, all come into play and to truly practice the art of sequencing, participants will be working on their own magazines with the support of Christelle Enquist.
- Revision and constructive criticism: both in group and individually through out the workshop.
Dynamic composition, light and ways around bad lighting conditions, colour theory and its application to photography, selection & editing, creating visual narratives and the differences depending on the final support, sequencing, magazine-making best practices.
