Cambodia Photography Holiday

Highlights

• See Colonial and Chinese-style architecture in the Old French Quarter; locals markets meld carefully with boutique hotels and hip bars. There is truly something for everyone in Siem Reap.
• Encounter Angkor Wat, the mother of all temples, the world’s largest religious building, the ultimate expression of Khmer genius. Built in 1100 and surrounded by a vast moat, Angkor Wat is one of the most inspired monuments ever conceived by the human mind.
• Visit Wat Bo, the largest Buddhist temple in the region.
• See and hear the meditative melodies of the monks chanting in unison at prayer time.
• Visit Ta Prohm, the site of cinematic adventures. It’s series of narrow galleries and pillars are held hostage under the grip of gigantic cotton tree roots. Our fave - and in the dawn light, all to ourselves.

What's this trip about?

For the Cambodian kings of old, Angkor was literally heaven on earth. Successive rulers sought to outstrip their ancestors in size and symmetry, adding more head-turning temples to the proud capital of the Khmer empire, and the results are staggering. Angkor has the grand scale of the Great Wall, the beauty of the Taj Mahal and the spatial symbolism of the pyramids, rolled into one. For buffs of any kind, its paradise. Welcome to our Cambodia Photography Holiday. Across ten galvanising days, our team use the backdrop of this UNESCO World Heritage site – and the fascinating hub of Siem Reap – to reveal the craft of stunning photography, with breathtaking results. From the basics to the fine artistry of great shots, we will guide you step-by-step to attain jaw-dropping standards. And to soothe any creative angst, our Cambodia photography holiday is held at one of Asia’s most renowned luxury hotels, a converted French governors mansion that melds Art Deco elements with modern chic for an atmosphere of sophisticated and discriminating splendour. The hotel grounds are surrounded by a breezy, tropical ambiance, with a luxury spa, library, pool and-and stunning colonial terraces.
