Cambodia

Explore evocative landscape photography in Cambodia through a collection created during a memorable journey across this fascinating country. The experience of visiting the vast temple complex of Angkor Wat left a lasting impression on me—its scale, intricate carvings, and the atmosphere at sunrise make it one of the most extraordinary places a photographer can witness.

This gallery showcases the ancient temples of Angkor, the unique floating villages on Tonlé Sap, and the lush, lesser-known landscapes of the Kampot Mountains. While much of Cambodia’s countryside is relatively flat, the mountains around Kampot offer a surprising paradise for landscape photography, with dense jungle, rolling hills, and dramatic viewpoints overlooking the surrounding plains. Together, these images capture the contrast that makes Cambodia so compelling—from sacred temple ruins steeped in history to vibrant water communities and wild tropical landscapes.
