Cambodia Green Season Photography Workshop: Monsoon Skies, Rice Paddies and Rural Life

Discover a different side of Cambodia with this green season photography workshop, where monsoon skies, flooded paddies and emerald fields replace the crowds and harsh light of the dry months. From the temples of Angkor to remote Khmer villages, you will photograph a quieter, moodier and more atmospheric Cambodia.

Led by a professional photographer specialising in documentary photography and travel photography, the workshop combines expert guidance with time to observe and explore. Every day is different: farmers ploughing with water buffalo, women planting seedlings knee-deep in water, children fishing in flooded fields, and storm clouds building over Angkor. You will learn to anticipate moments, shoot in rain and mist, and work with soft, dramatic light.

Photograph Cambodia Through Local Connections

Beyond Siem Reap and Angkor, we head into the countryside to join village life during the rainy season, from muddy rice fields to monastery courtyards and local kitchens. As I speak Khmer, you will meet my Khmer friends and be welcomed into places most visitors never see, with time for real conversations rather than quick snapshots.

With a respectful, people-first approach, I take time to observe, understand and connect before raising the camera. My guidance helps you capture authentic portraits, reflections, rain-soaked scenes and everyday moments that show the true character of Cambodia
