The photos displayed in the exhibition are diverse in genre, ranging from landscape, portrait, still-life to real life. Among those, some photos won prizes in Vietnam as well as abroad. The exhibition aims to demonstrate the artworks that viewers can easily feel and understand. Money earned from selling photos and raising funds during the exhibition will be donated to the patients suffering from severe financial difficulty at National Hospital of Paediatrics via the hospital’s Department of Social Work as well as the volunteers in Kindness Group.
