The “phơi cá” (drying fish) in the coastal province of Ba Ria - Vung Tau, southern Vietnam, taken by photographer Khanh Phan is the only representative from Vietnam on the “travel photos category”.

Khanh’s photo depicts a myriad of trays packed with fish under the baking sun in the Long Hai fish market.

Khanh's brainchild was introduced among 15 other excellent early submissions to the annual Sony World Photography Awards 2021, divided into four competitions: one for professionals, an open contest, a student contest, and one for youths aged 12 to 19. Winners will be announced in April 2021, as reported by VNE.

Khanh, a native of northern Thai Binh Province, lives in Ho Chi Minh City. She is not a newcomer in photography as over the past three years, she has won 30 awards at home and abroad. Last year, one of her photos was selected among 50 shortlisted for the AGORA award, organized by AGORA, a platform for photography lovers worldwide.
