What photographers have said
Aidan T.
"Jeff's knowledge of Phnom Penh is unmatched. His expertise of the streets, people, and lifestyle allows you to capture moments you would never see traveling alone. Jeff was patient and helpful in explaining camera settings for the environment, which resulted in some fantastic and memorable shots. He helped me see angles I would never have thought of, and worked with you throughout the day to help you get the best possible result. I highly recommend Jeff and his services to anyone who wants to capture memorable moments in Cambodia!

"This exploration of Phnom Penh was long overdue. Although I visited the main places, markets and museums, street cafes and restaurants, I felt there was more to discover and contacted Jeff. It was also time for me to get acquainted with a new camera (fixed lens) and Jeff also occasionally uses a similar camera, so learning from him was instructive. In addition to his significant photographic and local expertise, Jeff has a very friendly personality that opens doors and elicits smiles, so we went to places I would not have imagined and I was guided to use my new camera quite effectively. I recommend this trip as it will bring you much closer to Cambodia, its culture, architecture and lovely people, while improving your photography.

"I spent a few days photographing with Jeff in and around Phnom Penh, as well as Silk Island and Koh Dach. I would never have found these places on my own and it was great to be in the company of someone who has lived there for a while and knows the terrain inside out. We visited many varied locations and I spent a lot of time photographing, which turned out to be a very productive use of time. I have no hesitation in recommending Jeff to others.

"I had a fantastic day with Jeff taking photos in the wonderful and vibrant streets of Phnom Penh. I booked his tour because I wanted to improve my street photography skills and gain confidence as a photographer. In addition to sharing his in-depth expertise on the technical and artistic aspects of photography, he showed me a side of the city that I would never have seen on my own. I highly recommend his tour to any photographer. No matter your skills or experience, I am sure you will leave having learned something new and having seen this fantastic city from a perspective that other tourists will not.

"A mesmerizing street photography tour with Jeff through markets, crowded alleyways and dilapidated but once magnificent buildings teeming with life and buzzing with sounds and colors. Jeff knows the streets and corners like the back of his hand and is passionate about the city and photography. Delve deep into Phnom Penh and get lost in the streets under his guidance. Highly recommended and would definitely repeat the experience!

"I spent two days in Phnom Penh with Jeff as our professional photographer. Jeff's passion, skills and energy, along with his extensive knowledge of the real Phnom Penh, ensured we had fantastic photographic opportunities in the markets (Phsar O'Russei and Phsar Kandal) as well as in the back alleys and side streets well off the tourist trail. Jeff provided the location guidance and knowledge to help us capture everyday Cambodian life and bring back some great memories and photographic insights.
