A Vietnamese photographer will have one of his photos displayed at an exhibition in London next year as a reward for being the runner-up in a photography contest that wrapped up last week, the contest’s organizer has announced on its website.
Ly Hoang Long’s photo will be on view at a display at London’s Royal Geographical Society from July 24 to September 5, 2015.
Long was named the runner-up in the “One Shot” category of the 2014 Travel Photographer of the Year contest for his photo depicting two children flying kites on a sand hill in the central Vietnamese province of Binh Thuan.
The contest kicked off on May 23 and concluded on December 11.
The Vietnamese photographer has long been called “the king of digital photos” with 20 years of experience and around 210 local and international photography prizes.
In October this year, Long’s photo “Net Mending” (Dan Luoi) was also the winning image of the Asia Pacific region at the 2014 CBRE Urban Photographer of the Year competition.
British photographer Philip Lee Harvey took the overall title of the 2014 Travel Photographer of the Year competition thanks to his elegant portfolios describing the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia and the women of Namibia’s Himba tribe.
The Travel Photographer of the Year award was founded by professional photographer Chris Coe and his wife and business partner in 2003.
The contest has attracted professional and amateur photographers from 100 countries around the world and received thousands of entries each year.
Chris Coe is a self-taught photographer who photographs landscapes, people, wildlife and architecture in a range of formats including 35mm, panoramic and medium using both film and digital cameras.
