Photos related to the social distancing period are also included.
Images of government leaders, such as Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam, who is also the head of National Steering Committee for COVID-19 Prevention and Control, are featured.
Photographer A said his photos reveal people’ thoughts and experiences during the pandemic.
“I have released 13 photo books, but this work, Tinh Thần Việt Và Cuộc Chiến Chống Đại Dịch COVID-19, left very strong emotions in my memory,” said Á, adding that all of his photos capture what has happened during the pandemic.
According to Le Xuan Thang, deputy chairman of the Vietnam Photography Association, A’s book shows that in life, there are challenges and that the Vietnamese people “have to face and win over them. We have a chance to look back at ourselves, and understand more about life, people and the natural world".
“While we are still in the fight against COVID-19, A’s photos can send humanitarian messages and strong views to encourage the community to be in this together and be stronger to win the virus,” he said. VNS
