Đinh Đăng Định (20 April 1920 – 11 August 2013) was the personal photographer to Ho Chi Minh.
However, it wasn't until 1941 when Ho Chi Minh set up at anti-Japanese base at Pác Bó that Định was allowed to photograph political activities.
[1] Định became the personal photographer to Ho Chi Minh, taking the first official portrait of him on 2 September 1945 in Hanoi.
From 1945 onwards, Định would accompany Ho Chi Minh to capture images of his meetings with French colonial commanders and other high-ranking members of the Communist Party of Vietnam as well as document people's support of Ho's resistance movement.
Định worked in the Party's Central Office, taking photos of Ho Chi Minh until he died in 1969.
