With a 25-year career spanning work published in prestigious titles such as\u00a0Travel & Leisure, Conde Nast Traveler, US\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0UK House & Garden, Elle Decoration, Vogue\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Gourmet Traveller,<\/em>\u00a0Tony will offer hands-on tuition covering many aspects of travel photography, from maintenance of equipment when travelling, understanding the basic elements of photography which are interdependent – resolution, shutter speed and depth of field (or focus), and most importantly the consideration of composition and light quality.<\/span><\/div>\n
He will advise on etiquette and how to photograph people naturally in the myriad of situations confronting travellers, along with the sheer physicality of shooting \u2018on the go\u2019 to avoid blurry or out-of-focus pictures, and how to avoid missing what is actually going on around you all the time.\u00a0 Throughout the itinerary, Tony will provide personal mentoring on an individual basis, discussing specific enquiries on shooting at all times.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Most recently a judge of\u00a0Fairfax Traveller\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0\u2018Big Picture\u2019 competition, Tony has also collaborated on Cambodian features in current issues ofVOGUE Living<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0SBS Feast<\/em>\u00a0with the trip\u2019s tour leader, award-winning food and travel writer\u00a0Carli Ratcliff<\/strong>, who\u00a0<\/strong>will offer an optional writing workshop to complement the itinerary.<\/span><\/div>\n
Aspiring photographers and writers will have no shortage of subjects and experiences, with opportunities to capture the temples of Bayon, Ta Prohm, Angkor Wat and Bantey Srei, ride motorbikes to Phnom Kulen, tour floating villages of Oudong up close by private boat and visits to the Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda and Takhmao Khmer Arts Centre.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Khmer cuisine will be explored through local restaurants ranging from NGO supported ventures and the popular Sugarpalm to upscale French-influenced Malis, with an optional early morning foray to Phnom Penh\u2019s vibrant Central Market to prepare for Raffle\u2019s legendary cooking classes. By sunset, the photographers might even share their snaps over Femme Fatales at the fabled Raffles Elephant Bar, the cocktail created to honour celebrated guest, Jacqueline Onassis. \u00a0\u00a0As Tony says:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cCambodia is a country rich in hope, mystery and colour and its fair share of visual wonders. My goal is that each and everyone on this trip returns home with well-crafted pictures that convey a real sense of what each of us witnessed on our journey in Cambodia, a place so unlike where we live.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
From\u00a0$7572 per person<\/strong>, twin share, this eight-day package includes transfers, meals and activities as stated in full itinerary, accommodation at Raffles Grand D\u2019angkor Siem Reap and Raffles Le Royal Phnom Penh and internal flights between these.
