Early years
Lê Minh Trường was born in 1930 in Thua Thien, Hue.
Career
Career
Lê fought for the Viet Minh and was part of the unit that escorted Prince Souphanouvong from North Vietnam to the caves at the headquarters of the Pathet Lao. In 1956, he was seriously wounded in the head by a piece of flying shrapnel and was declared unfit to continue in a combat unit. This led to his reassignment as a photographer with the Vietnamese News Agency in 1958 where he was tasked with photographing the Ho Chi Minh trail. Lê travelled alone and worked with few supplies in the harsh conditions of the mountains and forests, often using water from the Mekong Delta and the cover of the night sky to develop his film.
