I had a great time with VEN! They are a truly amazing team of people who made my experience even better than I expected. I arrived there as a complete beginner in photography and that was perfectly fine. They explained everything to me and helped me a lot throughout the whole process. I highly recommend them! *big thanks to Anna for her support before and during this program

Everyone was very welcoming. I was there when it was raining a lot restricting our ability to go photograph and they let me stay an extra 3 days for free to make sure I had the time to finish my presentation

During the past 2 weeks I have learned so much about culture, environment and professional skills in the filming field. From how to prepare a script to tell a story to the colours you integrate to make the story vivid. The experience is 100% worth it if you are responsible and disciplined, they will help you if you need any assistance in preparing but the creativity is up to you. If you have time I recommend staying there a month to grasp every detail that is possible. The facilities are very clean and comfortable, and the friends I did during the volunteering I will preserve for life ❤️

VEN is truly a great way for beginner as well as advanced photographers to connect with nature, learn about Vietnamese culture from local hosts, as well as make friends with fellow international volunteers. Highlights of the experience include exploring Son Tra peninsula to see monkeys as well as learning how to operate the fantastic camera equipment and preparing a presentation to display your work.

Thank you for your kind feedback! We're glad VEN gave you the chance to explore Son Tra Peninsula, use professional camera gear, photoshop guidance, and connect with nature, culture, and volunteers.
Your stunning bee-eater bird photos help us promote Vietnam’s beauty and raise awareness about conservation. We are so proud of your effort and great photos.

I spent a week with the wildlife photography program. Although it's a short period to develop a project, the team took care to adapt it well to the time I had available and helped me with everything I needed. The association's workers are lovely, and it's an opportunity to interact with locals and participate with an association that promotes nature conservation through photography and filmmaking. It's a very new project, so I think they're still refining some aspects of the program, but they're doing their best to ensure volunteers have a great experience. Thank you for this week!
