(VOVworld)- An Irishman has captured the life of the Vietnamese people 40 years after the war in photos that are on display in the central province of Quang Tri.

Photo exhibition on Vietnam four decades after war

The exhibition, which opened on Wednesday, showcases 15 photos taken by photographer Ian Thuillier who travelled the cities and countryside of Vietnam in 2015, 40 years after Vietnam was reunified in 1975. They depict the daily life of the people who experienced the devastating war and its consequences, as well as Vietnamese efforts to rebuild the country.  The photos are also part of the book “Vietnam 40”, which was shortlisted from more than 10,000 other books worldwide for the finals of the Sony World Photography Awards. The exhibition in Quang Tri will last until June 29.
