An exhibition of 80 photos that capture the beauty of the land and people of Vietnam opened in France on September 4 and will run until the end of this month in celebration of Vietnam’s National Day (September 2).

Almost all of the pictures on show have won high prizes in local and international photography competitions between the 2004-2008 period.

The focal point that attracts viewers’ attention is ten black and white photos on the theme “Lifestyle of ethnic people in Central Highlands of Vietnam .”

The collection won the top prize at the Biennial of Black and White Photography in Slovakia in 2008 – a competition held by the Federation of International Art Photography (FIAP)./.
