Now more than ever we like to prove to be the perfect photography tour experience into mystical Cambodia
The Cambodian tourism ministry announced that fully vaccinated international tourists with proof of their inoculation are allowed into Cambodia again. We just did this in February 2022 and made several amazing photowalks in and around Phnom Penh and naturally delved back into the mystical powers of Angkor Wat temples near Siem Reap town.
The results of some pictures captured on film are now published is 36 exposures Magazine.
To make travel more convenient, Cambodia has decided the full removal of the 14-day quarantine policy for fully vaccinated tourists, barring certification showing a negative COVID test 72-hours before travel and another negative COVID test upon arrival at Phnom Penh International Airport.
It’s time to get back to the life we love and support the local Cambodians that were hit so hard during the never ending lockdowns.
The whole year is good for travel in Cambodia.
In 2022-2023 we will offer our proven comprehensive photography safari adventures again in Cambodia. Small individual groups. Offering 1/2 day or full day photo tours . We are open for bookings directly or conveniently for short photo walks through Viator-Tripadvisor.

For our fully arranged 10 days photo trip from the Netherlands to Cambodia I have designed the itinerary below. This is a 10 days photography adventure.
What to expect on a human level
You will meet like-minded people who want to improve their photography and discover Cambodia from within.
The photo tour experience is very informal and hands-on. You will be able to ask all the questions you like. We make sure you will love Cambodia and enjoy the time of your life.
What we will deal with photo technically.
People, light, cityscapes, street photography, portraits, how to handle people, timing, composition, setting your goal as a photographer. Photographing in the tropics, adapting to the environment and make your photography joyful for everyone, also your subject. how to interact with strangers. Learning to improve your landscapes and nature photography.
Color control, messages in photographs, using your your unique talents and skills. How to set up a digital workflow, what to look for when editing, color management.
Speed of workflow, white balance, exposure, reflectors, quality of light, finding the right locations and how to share and present your photographs.
Depart directly from Amsterdam Schiphol to Phnom Penh Cambodia. We’ve just did this so we can take you there.
With a short 2-hour transit in Singapore. It is of course possible to deviate from this for an individual connecting trip to, for example, Thailand and Vietnam or Laos.
We preferable fly with Singapore airlines as they have proven to me to be the most trustworthy airline to deal with these days. Flying directly AMS into Singapore for transit and onwards to Phnom Penh. It’s is a bit of a hassle with PCR tests and some paperwork but once you have arrived its time to unwind and relax on board.
Awesome off the beaten track programs from 10 days or more in Cambodia await us!
Arrival and exploring Phnom Penh, and of course we work towards the highlight of any travel to Cambodia, the world famous Angkor Wat temples. Cambodian lush jungle hideaways and the mighty Mekong river island for a uniques sanctuary stay.
Save and responsible travel is a must and we are aware and able to make your travel plans a reality with our extensive network of known travel partners in Cambodia. With a proven close network of hospitality and transport partners established during our seven years experience in Cambodia you are in good hands.
