Đình Việt
@dinhvietphoto
A relative newbie on this list, Viet's work has already been featured by National Geographic, and it's not hard to see why. His pictures call out poignant moments of Vietnamese life across the country, and are framed with the photographer's personal sense of artistry and colour. Captivating!
Ryan Deboodt
@rdeboodt
If you're considering coming to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, chances are you've already seen some of Ryan Deboodt's photos. Famed for his incredible pictures of Vietnam's caves, Ryan's Instagram account also features some truly endearing shots of primates in the wild, specifically the red-shanked douc langurs living on Son Tra Peninsula.
Nguyen Bui
@vietnamfoodstylist
Granted, these photos are gorgeous enough to go in a cookbook (many of them do.) Still, a scroll through the @vietnamfoodstylist account is the fastest way to whet your appetite and acquaint yourself with the wide array of delicious Vietnamese dishes that await you on your trip.
Soái Phạm Văn Vũ
@soaipham
A man clearly in love with his culture, photographer Vu's vintage-inspired photos feature a slow-moving, traditional side of Vietnam. Vu captures iconic Vietnamese scenes and symbols, mainly from the cities of Hue and Hoi An in Central Vietnam. Bold, beautiful colour is a central theme on his Instagram page. This is one account you'll follow long after you've left.
Réhahn Photography
@rehahn_photography
If there's one man who knows all about Vietnam's ethnic groups, it's documentary and fine art photographer Réhahn. Currently living in the city of Hoi An, Réhahn has photographed almost all of Vietnam's ethnic minorities. His Instagram feed a richly rewarding showcase of diversity, with some lovely landscapes sprinkled in the mix.
