After graduating from the National University of Civil Engineering as an architect, Tran Tuan Viet began pursuing photography and visual storytelling in 2007. A decade later, since 2017, he has been widely recognized by media outlets as “the photographer who brings Vietnam’s beauty to the world” through his long-term photographic work capturing the country’s landscapes, culture, and people.
Viet has delivered exceptional photographic services to a diverse range of global clients, collaborating with renowned organizations including Apple Inc., Google Asia Pacific, Samsung Global, the Trump Organization, National Geographic, and Discovery. As a Canon Master and Ambassador, he maintains a distinguished reputation within the international photography community.
Over the years, he has also partnered with key Vietnamese government institutions such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism; the Vietnam National Authority of Tourism; and tourism departments in Hanoi, Quang Binh, and Ho Chi Minh City. His work as a leading Vietnam photographer continues to contribute significantly to national tourism initiatives and global visual storytelling.
From national media to leading travel publications, our photography tours have been recognized for shaping meaningful photographic journeys across Vietnam.
