Vietnam featured in photo series ‘The Story Of Hunger And Hope’

(VOV) – The US magazine National Geographic has captured the image of Vietnamese woman in its photo series ‘The Story Of Hunger And Hope’.

‘The Story Of Hunger And Hope’ photo series captures men, women and children living in poverty across the world – and those who are working to alleviate it. Hunger doesn’t care if you’re from the wealthiest nation or the poorest. ‘It’s about realizing that hunger affects people from all races, all ages, and from every corner of the globe,’ National Geographic said.

The magazine featured photographer Nguyen Phuc’s photo entitled ‘Cooker in Black’. Phuc’s photo focuses on a woman preparing food on the anniversary of a death. This is a tradition of most people in Vietnam with the hope that the dead will bless them with all luck in life.

National Geographic editor’s note says ‘A beautiful look at the intensity of preparing food. This image has light and drama and moment. Well done!’

Items in the photo series were selected from 5,000 entries sent to National Geographic magazine and hunger-relief group Feeding America.
