Angkor Photo Festival Canon Workshop

It is with great pleasure that I announce my invitation to teach a new workshop sponsored by Canon at the 2011 Angkor Photo Festival in Siem Reap, Cambodia on November 20 and 21. Canon has organised a nine-category contest called Photo Marathon for budding Cambodian photographers, and the winners of each category will come to Siem Reap for the duration of the festival and be my students for a two-day crash course on the fundamentals of photography and the business of making images.

This will be my third year at the festival. The first was in 2007 when I was green and knew nothing of the milieu, and the second was in 2008 when my multimedia expose on the Kenyan post-election crisis was screened. It is a true honor to return to Angkor Photo in this capacity, in many ways a product of the concept behind the festival – one of exchange, inspiration and encouragement.

Look out for an update post in November about the winners and their work.
