Among the many photographs on war such as the conflicts in Ukraine, Syria and Iraq, were photographs taken by Vietnamese journalists Doan Cong Tinh, Chu Chi Thanh, Hua Kiem and Mai Nam during the US War from 1966-1973.
The photo collection themed “The Photographers from the North” included images from North Vietnamese photographers who worked for the army or for government newspapers and lived alongside the soldiers.
The event was initiated by French journalist Patrick Chauvel who came to Vietnam in 1968 at the age of 18 as a rookie photographer and witnessed firsthand the pains of the war with the US.
Mr. Chauvel has also published a book which includes photo collections of North Vietnamese photographers, “Ceux du Nord,” and is currently producing a documentary film.
Here are some photos:
