The exhibition titled "25 Years – A Journey" showcases more than 100 photos selected from thousands Phong has taken throughout his career.
Over the years, Phong has held 22 solo exhibitions, published 14 photo books, and won more than 200 awards in both artistic and journalistic photography at home and abroad.
For this exhibition, which runs until October 29, Phong has chosen photos that feel close to everyday life, carrying an optimistic and life-affirming spirit.
Among them are the “Vuot Qua Bong Toi” (Overcoming the darkness) series, which portrays the visually impaired children who, despite living in darkness, remain cheerful.

Another is “Cuoi” (Smile), a collection of portraits of people of all ages from different regions and walks of life, radiating positivity.
The exhibition space also features his first camera – a Zenit he has used for decades – and hundreds of press badges collected throughout his career.
