We’re doing something different this spring
Spring 2027 brings a new kind of X-Pedition — documentary, thematic, and built to publish.
Travel photography that goes beyond the postcard.
Most travel photography ends up as a checklist — I visited, I shot, I moved on. X-Pedition Hanoi takes a different approach. Working alongside Ibarionex Perello, you'll learn to photograph experience rather than locations — the people, rhythms, and quiet moments that tell the deeper story of a place. You'll come home with images that reflect what it actually felt like to be there.
