Step away from the traffic and into Hanoi’s parks, where city life unfolds at a gentler pace. In Park Life, you’ll photograph morning tai chi groups moving in unison, friends laughing over badminton games, and couples finding quiet corners among the trees. These shared green spaces are where Hanoi breathes—a stage for both solitude and community.

With guidance on framing, light, and timing, you’ll learn how to capture fleeting gestures and layered scenes that speak of connection and contrast. This workshop invites you to explore the softer side of Hanoi, creating images that balance energy with calm.
