Photography from the Vietnam War profoundly transformed American perceptions of the conflict and its soldiers. As the war marked its 50th anniversary since its conclusion in 1975, the images captured revealed deep emotional scars and societal reflections. Notable photographers like Dickey Chapelle, Tim Page, and Henri Huet brought varied perspectives that showcased the brutal realities of war. Their work not only documented the physical landscape but also shaped how Americans viewed their nation’s involvement in the war and its lasting impact.
The war, which formally concluded on April 30, 1975, still elicits grief for all that was burned into memory and reinforced on film.
The most memorable photographs of that era, with its grisly, muddy, cruel jungle war, were shot by a brave global crew with a wide range of political views.
