Temple Photography
Angkor Wat or Not, Backlit or Golden Light
This Angkor Sunrise Photography Tour is perfect for photographers working within a limited timeframe during their Angkor visit, or for those who find our full-day Angkor photo tour too extensive. This photo tour offers a unique glimpse into Angkor's most photogenic temples during the magical hours of sunrise and early morning light.
You can choose amongst several options for this: capture the colors of sunrise behind Angkor's iconic five lotus-shaped towers reflected from the reflecting pond or photograph the golden light away from the crowds. A third option offers a unique chance to experience the mystical jungle temple of Ta Prohm as the first rays of sunlight illuminate its ancient carvings emerging from shadow. This tour also features a visit to a lesser-known, intimate Angkorian temple where you'll likely have complete solitude, particularly during the low season. Whether you prefer backlit silhouettes or warm golden hour tones, this tour is tailored to your photographic vision.
