Participants of the 2016 Angkor Photo Workshop took their\u00a0visual storytelling skills to the next level with an intense, two-week, immersive photo workshop in my very own back yard last month. While Cambodia\u2019s eerily gorgeous temples might have been one of the many\u00a0reasons participants came, they soon discovered that it was the Cambodian people and their stories which were\u00a0the real treasures of undertaking a photo workshop here in one of the most beautiful and friendly countries in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

In addition to exploring Angkor\u2019s enduring temples, Phnom Penh’s vibrant street life and Battambang’s French history,\u00a0this year’s participants\u00a0had the task and the privilege of documenting, one-on-one, remarkable individuals and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) whose harrowing stories became\u00a0the basis of their individual photography projects.<\/p>\n

During the two-week unique cultural experience, participants simultatiously learned visual storytelling skills and techniques in daily classroom sessions and then immediately applied them to the real life photo documentary projects on which they were working.<\/p>\n

This year’s projects included a story on the life and times of a local Tuk Tuk driver, the challenges encountered by a land mine victim who struggles to make a life for himself and his disabled wife, and a reportage on transgender\u00a0individuals who work at a local “Ladyboy Review, Broadway Show”.<\/p>\n

Indeed, this, the 6th Annual Angkor Photo Workshop, was yet another amazing two-weeks of intense photography, exploration, learning, comaraderie and fun.<\/p>\n

Below are some images that I was able to snap\u00a0during this year’s workshop. Enjoy<\/p>\n
