My name is Koemle. I was born in Takéo Province, known as the cradle of Khmer civilization. In 2000, I moved to Siem Reap and began working as a tuk-tuk driver. Along the way, I met many professional photographers searching for authentic experiences beyond the typical tourist trails. Their passion inspired me, and I began learning photography myself.

Since 2005, I have trained with several international photography tutors and have grown into a well-known professional photographer in Cambodia. Today, I combine my deep knowledge of the Angkor temples with my photography experience to create unique, personalized photo tours.

What I Offer

Whether you are a complete beginner shooting in auto or an experienced photographer, I can help you improve your skills.
I will guide you to the best locations—away from the crowds—and support you with:

• Camera settings
• Composition and framing
• Light, shadows, and timing
• Creative techniques for stronger images

If you arrive shooting in auto mode, I guarantee you will finish the tour using manual or semi-manual with confidence. My goal is simple: for you to return home with authentic, beautiful images of Cambodia—not tourist snapshots.

Rubbish School – My Community Project

When COVID-19 stopped tourism and schools closed, I created Rubbish School, a project where children could attend English classes by “paying” with rubbish. This helped educate kids while also raising awareness about Cambodia’s plastic pollution problem. The BBC even produced a short film about this initiative.

When you book a tour with me, 15% of my income is donated to support Rubbish School.
By joining my tour, you not only improve your photography—you also help support education and environmental awareness in my community.

Thank You

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I look forward to welcoming you to Siem Reap and helping you capture the true beauty of Cambodia.
