“More than 5 years ago, there was a time when I was stressed with my work and life stuff. At that time I didn't know what to do with my life, but I was lucky enough to have encountered photography. I was really passionate about it. Thanks to this project, I felt like being brought back to life'', the young man from western Vietnam shared about his journey with photography.
He said: ‘’ After taking photography for a while, I realize that beautiful pictures of Ben Tre are quite modest compared to other regions when shared on social networks although Ben Tre has many beautiful scenes. Due to that fact, I decided to take photos in my homeland to introduce online ''. (Photo: VN Express)

It seems to make my soul lighten a lot so that I can balance my increasingly busy life, '' said Thi. (Photo: VN Express)
