Exclusive Private Photography Experiences
These private photography experiences have been created exclusively for VIP guests, combining some of Angkor’s most beautiful locations with carefully chosen timings, beautiful light and, where possible, a sense of privacy away from the crowds.
Each experience has been designed to complement your time at Angkor, whether you would like photography woven seamlessly into your existing guided tour, an atmospheric morning among the jungle ruins, or a more secluded experience where privacy comes first.
I’m Geoff, a Siem Reap-based professional photographer with more than a decade of experience photographing people and places throughout Cambodia. I tailor each experience around your plans.
“Geoff is extremely professional and has an immaculate eye for detail. He is no less than a local in Cambodia and yet brings his global experience into his work! A true artist indeed!’’ - Arpita, Hong Kong.
Photoshoot experiences
Angkor Wat at First Light
Enjoy the magic of sunrise at Angkor Wat with your private guide, then capture your time at the temple in the beautiful early morning light.
Ideal for: Guests who would like to add professional photography to their existing Angkor tour.
Why choose this experience?
Fits seamlessly into your Angkor morning
Enjoy sunrise with your guide, add your private photography experience afterwards, then continue exploring Angkor as planned.
Beautiful early morning light
The soft light after sunrise illuminates Angkor Wat’s galleries, towers and ancient stonework, creating beautiful settings for photography.
Once-in-a-lifetime photographs
Return home with an extraordinary collection of photographs of yourselves within one of the world’s most remarkable places.
The experience
After enjoying sunrise in your own time, we explore some of Angkor Wat’s most beautiful locations, creating natural portraits, candid moments and carefully composed photographs among its ancient galleries, towers and stone corridors.
The experience is relaxed and designed to become part of your morning at Angkor, not take it over. Once the photography is complete, you simply continue exploring with your private guide.
Ta Prohm - Lost in the Jungle
Step into another world, where ancient stone corridors disappear beneath the jungle and enormous tree roots twist around temples that have stood for centuries.
This is Ta Prohm, one of Angkor’s most extraordinary temples. At the right time in the early morning, it can feel wonderfully remote and almost lost within the jungle.
Ideal for: Guests looking for a quieter, more atmospheric photography experience and the feeling of discovering Angkor away from the crowds.
Why choose this experience?
The temple almost to yourselves
At my recommended time, we arrive before the crowds, when Ta Prohm’s ancient corridors and jungle-covered ruins are still wonderfully quiet.
An extraordinary atmosphere
Soft morning light filters through the trees and ancient stonework, creating a sense of mystery and stillness that makes Ta Prohm unlike anywhere else at Angkor.
Once-in-a-lifetime photographs
Ancient ruins, enormous tree roots and beautiful natural light create an extraordinary setting for photographs that could only have been made here.
The experience
We explore Ta Prohm slowly, wandering through shadowed corridors, crumbling doorways and jungle-covered ruins while creating natural photographs along the way.
The experience is deliberately unhurried, giving you time to enjoy the temple as well as being photographed within it. We seek out its quieter corners and most atmospheric settings as the early morning light moves through the jungle.
The result is a photographic story of exploring one of Angkor’s most mysterious and beautiful places.
Angkor, to Yourself
Privacy is an essential part of the experience. This is Angkor far from the crowds, where you can explore and be photographed without an audience.
We leave the well-known temples behind and travel to one of my favourite secluded locations, hidden within the forest and chosen for its beauty, atmosphere and remarkable sense of isolation.
Ideal for: Guests who value privacy and discretion, and would prefer their photography experience to take place somewhere quiet, beautiful and away from the busier temples of Angkor.
Why choose this experience?
Exceptional privacy
It is not unusual to have the entire temple to ourselves, giving you the freedom to explore and be photographed without crowds around you.
Hidden in the forest
Surrounded by jungle, ancient stone and the sounds of the forest, it feels more like discovering a forgotten temple than visiting one of Angkor’s major attractions.
Photographs without compromise
With no crowds to work around, we have the freedom to use the most beautiful locations, take our time and create photographs that feel intimate, cinematic and completely personal.
The experience
We leave the busier temple routes behind and travel deeper into Angkor, arriving at a secluded ancient temple surrounded by forest.
From there, the experience is entirely unhurried. We wander through the ruins, explore quiet passageways and stop wherever the light and surroundings come together beautifully, creating natural portraits and more carefully composed photographs along the way.
With few, and often no, other visitors around, there is a wonderful freedom to the experience. You can enjoy the temple at your own pace, while we create a private photographic story of your time in a side of Angkor that very few visitors experience.
How do I book a photoshoot experience?
Each experience can be tailored around your plans, from adjusting the timing to creating something entirely bespoke. If none of the experiences above quite fits what you have in mind, we would be delighted to create something especially for you.
"had photos taken in so many places around the world, but nothing — nothing — compares to what Geoff created in Cambodia. Every frame feels alive — the light, the mood, the detail. It’s like he saw something in me that I didn’t even know was there. These aren’t just photos. They’re art. I’ve never felt more powerful, radiant, and at ease in front of a camera. Geoff has this incredible ability to direct subtly, make you feel completely yourself, and somehow turn that into something cinematic. I walked away with the best photos of my life — truly. If you ever get the chance to work with him, don’t hesitate. He’s exceptional"
"Geoff did a fantastic job with our family photo shoot at Angkor Wat. He was patient and kind with us and our 9-year-old, and he made us all feel at ease. The photos are so beautiful and really capture the spirit of our trip. A great way to keep such special memories - we couldn’t recommend him more! Thank you again!"
