HA NOI – A photo exhibition by French professional Sebastien Laval, entitled Communities through Time, will open this evening in Ha Noi.
The black-and-white photos tell stories of the lives of ethnic people in three countries: Cambodia, Laos and Viet Nam.
Through the photos, Laval shows portraits, traditional customs and changes in people's lives. Without titles, visitors could think, feel and freely discover the characters, "try to meet them, talk to them, look at them and understand them", Laval said.
Born on March 11, 1973, in Alfortville, Laval discovered photography when he was given a black-and-white camera by his father. He moved to Paris to work as an assistant for a photo studio in 1992 and cultivated his knowledge by studying black and white photos. He began working as a professional in Poitiers City.
Laval visited Viet Nam for the first time in 1995 and is acclaimed by Vietnamese and tourists for his outstanding and lively views.
The exhibition runs until February 11 at L'Espace, the French Cultural Centre, Trang Tien Street. – VNS
