What is included and what is not
- Your Buddy's time and company for the booked hours, paid in cash after the experience
- Choosing the locations, the timing and the light
- Help at the rental shop and translation wherever it is needed
- Ao dai rental and any professional photographer's fee, paid by you directly
- Taxi or Grab between locations
- Entry fees where a location charges one
Safety, helmet and clothing
- No vehicle is involved; you walk between the photo spots and take your own Grab for longer distances.
- The ao dai comes with its own trousers. Bring flat shoes you can walk in and something to change back into.
- Early light is best and midday heat is hard work. Rain moves the session under cover or to another day, agreed with your Buddy.

- Pay the rental shop, any photographer and any entry fee directly
- Stay in public locations and respect places of worship if you photograph near them
- Say if you feel uncomfortable at any point; the session moves at your pace
