Travel & Humanitarian Photos
The last two weeks have been a real treat. Not only have we been photographing in one of the most enchanting locations in South-East Asia, we’ve had the pleasure of the company of some enormously talented, wildly enthusiastic and impressively dedicated photographers.
Thankfully, I have the photos to look back on when I need a reminder of what a fun-packed time we’ve had in Cambodia.
You will find a series of slideshows below. The first is our “Best of Angkor” slideshow, compiled from a small selection of participants’ images. I think you’ll agree that there is some impressive work there.
Below that you will find the top four, prize-winning slideshows, created in the first week of the workshop. Working in pairs, participants had the opportunity to spend time with a story that they found compelling. After lectures on “Storytelling Technique”, “Audio Capture”, “Adobe Lightroom”, “Audacity” and “Soundslides”, among others, our photographers set out to tell their story. This represented a pretty steep learning curve but each photographer rose to the challenge to produce some inspiring and engaging work in the space of just a few days.
I encourage you to hit the full-screen button and to take a few minutes to appreciate each of the wonderful stories in their full glory.
My thanks and admiration go to Matt Brandon for his delightful company during that first week and also to Karl Grobl, for inviting me to be part of this wonderful workshop adventure. I’ve put the dates for next year’s Angkor Photo Workshop in my diary (last two weeks of July, 2012) and am already looking forward to a repeat performance.
Perhaps I’ll see you there?

Loving…
-you looking all zen in the middle of the group photo
-photographs of the workshop participants taken in the same window. Sharp!
-Water Lily Soup. Really enjoyed that piece, found some of the women’s portraits very compelling, and there were some very lovely food images in there.
Looks like a total blast.
Sensational
Wow!
I certainly wish I had better words to express how moving these stories are to me.
Wow!
Nice images. Nice integration of music and audio.
Just Wow!
Fantastic work on what looks to have been a fantastic journey. Of the multimedia pieces, I found Water Lily Soup to be the most gripping but they were all excellent.
Wow! All the slideshows are very good but I found Water Lily Soup to be the most compelling. Could be due to the haunting music.
Looks to me that the workshop was a huge success. I’ve been to Cambodia a number of times but haven’t quite seen it in this light. Congratulations!
What beautiful work. So very evocative of the people and place. It brings back fond memories of our time in Siem Reap on honeymoon, especially the last one which mirrored our experience with a village family for a day.
Each slideshow presents a unique and intimate look into the lives of those who live in Cambodia. It must have been challenging to rank these presentations because they are all outstanding efforts which convey sensitivity, insight and artistic influences that far outreach many photographers today! The body of work is truly inspiring.
Congrads to the instructors and participants, they should all be applauded for their efforts….this clearly was a “win-win” experience for everyone!
