Trung Duc and Khai Quan, both 30, transformed their home into world scenes and used them as the backdrops for their ‘Lost at Home’ album.
The photos were taken as travel restrictions are in place in Vietnam and across the globe, with carriers suspending most of their international services and many countries tightening immigration as a precaution against COVID-19.
However, that did not stop Duc and Quan, founders of the Wanderful Dreams blog, from tapping into their wanderlust.
While they cannot reach out to the real world, they have turned their house into a world of their own.
In their ‘Lost at Home’ project, the two turned every corner of their house into a concept reflecting the lands they wish to “travel” to.
Hong Kong, India, South Korea, and Egypt are just some of the many places on Earth reimagined in the duo’s photoshoot.

Talking to Tuoi Tre (Youth)newspaper, Duc and Quan recalled that ‘Lost at Home’ sprang into their mind after their travel plans and photography projects had been indefinitely delayed owing to COVID-19.
Staying at home all day drove the two “insane,” so they wanted to do something to satiate their thirst for travel, they explained.
It took Duc and Quan two days for the photos, including time spent drafting ideas, preparing props, and shooting, before the whole album was posted to their Facebook page on April 13.
“All shops are closed during the social distancing period so we could not buy all the things that we needed [for the photoshoot], so we made do with things available in our house,” Khai Quan said.
“However, as we had earlier planned to establish a small studio at our house, we had quite enough equipment, decorations and costumes at our disposal,” he added.
Vietnam went into 15 days of nationwide social distancing on April 1 as per a directive issued by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.
Increased social distancing measures are carried on in 28 provinces and cities for at least another week after April 15.
