Our lake workshops focus heavily on capturing compelling environmental portraits of fishermen, water traders, and stilt-house communities along the vast floodplains of the Tonle Sap. By mapping out specialized private boat routes, we position our clients away from common commercial tour traffic to capture authentic, non-staged moments of daily life.
Creative field training covers deep composition techniques for framing Kampong Khleang's towering stilt houses, managing complex water reflection glares during open-lake sunsets, and tracking rare wildlife within the remote flooded forests of the Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary. We also offer exclusive multi-day access extensions to document the historic, isolated floating island monastery of Wat Chheu Khmao under premium ambient lighting conditions.
The biggest village, Kampong Kleang, has several thousand inhabitants and houses on 10m high stilts, quite spectacular. People here are wonderful and love to see their pictures. There is a mixture of Khmer inland, and Vietnamese in the floating village further out.
Mechrey, a small settlement with a mixture of cultures. This village is truly floating and moved in and out with the water level, best seen at high water October to December. We aim to get you there for the best light when activity is at its greatest.
Prek Toal, is a one hour boat ride from Mechrey. It is famed for the popular bird sanctuary** (best visited Feb / March for birding).
Seldom do tourists arrive here during the golden hour, giving us photographers unique opportunity. Add a home stay (expect very basic accommodation) and witness sun rise on the lake as the village wakes up.
