Cambodian People Photos - Travel Photography - Travel Portraits Gallery
Fine Art Travel Photography Journal: Photo Galleries/Travel Videos/Storytelling. Blog born from a duo of photographer & videographer and designed as a font of Inspiration & Resources.
In Kampot, as well as in the rest of Cambodia most generally, we truly fell in love for the people.
In fact, in Cambodia we met some of the most beautiful, happy and friendly people ever met in years of travelling in south-east Asia, where people usually tend to be more physically distant and mentally reserved.
There, we found playful people who love to joke and who can naturally hug you. There, we found a population with inner moral values in a strongly-rooted buddhist country. Living close to them during several months, we really admired their contentment and natural ability of adapting themselves to whatever is coming to them as much as we also admired their authentic solidarity and mutual respect. Their proud and strong temper is usually very well balanced with their gentleness.
And as photographers, we have been charmed by the beauty of their features and their easy and generous smiles, making them perfect models for captivating travel portraits.
