“Our exhibition is a part of the city’s cultural activities to celebrate the 73rd National Day, September 2,” Le Xuan Thang, deputy chairman of Vietnam Photographers’ Association told Vietnam News Agency.
It is also a tribute to photojournalist Lam Tan Tai, who was the first general chairman of the Vietnam Photographers' Association. The exhibition commemorates his 17th death anniversary.
Tai, originally from Ba Ria – Vung Tau Province, joined the revolution in 1947. After studying arts and photography at Lomonoxop, a university in Moscow, he returned in 1966 and started working as a photojournalist, capturing thousands of photos of many battles.
“Works by photojournalist Tai are invaluable,” Thang said.
