Pre dawn light and mist add to the enigmatic character of Bayon temple (Cambodia)

Amazing Angkor
Thousand year old jungle temples provide the creative caffeine for our photographic explorations of the magnificent temples of Angkor. Simply mind blowing in their immensity and complexity, Angkor Wat and the surrounding sites that make up Angkor Archaeological Park are true wonders of the ancient world and recognized by the United Nations as a World Heritage site. Can you imagine a better setting for honing your photographic skills and vision?  Join Ken Lee and a small group of photographers on an amazing journey through the temples of Angkor and beyond. Early mornings and late afternoons are dedicated to image making, wandering the ruins when the light is best and the climate is comfortable. The hottest hours of the day are reserved for photo processing, classroom and demonstrations as well as a little time to just relax. Our itinerary pays due homage to the most famous sites; the incomparable Angkor Wat, the half-smiling stone  faces of the Bayon and vine enshrouded walls of Ta Prohm.

But we  venture off the beaten path early and often to investigate many of the less well known, less photographed ruins.

Beyond the Temples
Archaeological treasures are just the beginning of the bounty Cambodia has to offer the adventurous photographer. Serene scenes of village life, bustling markets and saffron robed monks constantly compete for your camera’s attention.  Nearby Tonle Sap lake, southeast Asia’s largest  freshwater fishery, is a magical place containing flooded forests, floating villages and incredible bird life. Our journey takes us by boat across its waters to explore this unique environment.
