ANGKOR PHOTO WORKSHOPS
Professional Photography Workshops for Asian PhotographersWe are pleased to announce that the Angkor Photo Workshops is back and open for applications.
Our annual tuition-free workshop returns from 6 – 15 January 2023 with a redesigned format to bring us closer to our original mission – to strengthen and nurture each individual participant’s unique vision and autonomous approach to their practice.
We remain open to all Asian nationalities, with no age limit. We welcome all forms of lens-based storytelling, including the use of video, moving images and mixed media.
For our 18th Edition, a group of 15 selected participants will be collectively led by three tutors as well as alumni facilitators. Participants will be expected to submit a project idea as part of their application. This can be a new body of work, or a continuation of an ongoing project.
Like all our previous editions, the workshops aim to provide participants with the opportunity to intensely examine their pre-existing approach to their craft, their personal motivations and sense of identities, and how their work can engage with the realities that confront them.
Participants will have the opportunity to share either a completed project or a section of their work at the end of the workshops as part of the festival’s programme.
Application is free and closes on 31st October 2022. Read our eligibility requirements and apply via our online form below.

The Angkor Photo Workshops began in 2005 to provide affordable, high quality professional training to Asia’s emerging photographic talents.
Today, the annual free workshops continues to provide lens-based practitioners in Asia with the opportunity to refine their personal, unique vision and approach to their practice. We promote an autonomous approach and are open to all forms of lens-based work.
In today’s world, where the commercialisation of education is fast becoming the dominant model, we believe it is important for us to remain an affordable option for those seeking access to professional education and development.
