The exhibition will be open to visitors from June 23 to July 4 at the Royal Geographical Society, London, UK. This is an annual activity to find and display the best works on environmental topics around the world.

The exhibition attracted a large number of works with rich themes such as innovation, sustainable development, biodiversity, poverty, climate change, human rights, culture and population growth.

Do Tuyet Trinh, an amateur photographer born in Hanoi, is a specialist in the banking and finance industry. In 2010, Trinh won the Humphrey Scholarship from the US Government to study at Boston University (USA). Here, she participated in a photojournalism course instructed by journalist and photojournalist Joe Lippincott.

Since then, the Canon camera has followed her to many places around the world and recorded the diverse colors of life. Although she has set foot on all five continents, Vietnam has always been an endless source of inspiration for her.

During a visit to Bac Lieu, Trinh's lens captured the beauty of women weaving nets, and these photos brought her two awards at two international photo competitions: "The Atkins CIWEM Environmental Photographer of the Year 2014" (UK) and "The People & Planet International Photo Competition 2013" (Australia)./.
