This exciting, safe
and well cared for photography tour-workshop with professional photographer and
Cambodia expert Michael Klinkhamer is now available for a 5-day Mekong River adventure
which will offer a true photographic exploration and further discovery of the
real Cambodia it’s culture, landscape and it’s people.
Immerge with like
minded people into a couple of days of intense photography and learning and
exploration along one of the most powerful rivers of all time, the mighty
Mekong.
Small group max 6-8people.
*Day1. Full day Phnom
Penh Photo Tour. Photography the city from the perspective of and insider and
get off the beaten track during this highly reviewed phototour. We first start
with getting the basics and get the best settings for your camera on street
photography and how to do portraits and mingle with the locals. We visit a
selection of hidden locations that no tour book will show you and find
interesting architecture and the famous ‘white building” and then visit a local
Cham fishing village and a slum nested on the borders of the Mekong river.
*Day2.Morning meeting and review of the Phnom Penh Photo tour, we visit a Cham fishing village on the Mekong near Phnom Penh and travel from
Phnom Penh to the town of Kampong Cham on the Mekong river and discover with our camera the amazing
seasonable Bamboo bridge structure, local market and relax with a cool beer and some good food and overnight along the mighty
Mekong river at our hotel.

*Day3. Morning sunrise photography session along the Mekong river and onwards travel to the sleepy town of Kratie on the
Mekong river. We explore the tranquil Kao Trong Island and beaches in the
Mekong river for some natural and local living photography and further
exploration on foot and bicycle and you can enjoy a rewarding and cooling swim
in the clean Mekong river. Kao Trong It's one of those semi-timeless Cambodian destinations. filled with sugar palms, paddy rice fields and plenty of pretty Khmer -style wooden houses, it's a delight to either ride or walk around the 9 kilometer circuit circling the Island. At the southern tip of the island, you'll will find a small Vietnamese pagoda and on the southwest bank a small floating village. Get in touch with nature and yourself. Overnight we stay on Kao Trong at a traditional build guest house and enjoy the silence, since there are almost no cars.

*Day4.Exploration
along the Mekong river as we watch/photograph the endangered Irrawaddy dolphins
on a small boat in the middle of the river. This is an amazing moment when you
can hear the dolphins breathe and watch them swim against the fast flow of the
Mekong
This is a challenging
assignment for the Dolphins only surface for a moment and it’s hard to predict
where? Get your telephoto lens ready!
The proposed and
finished Hydro dams in the upper Mekong are a real treat to the biodiversity of the Mekong. There are only around 80 dolphins left and if the hydro dams
will be completed it is almost certain the dolphins will be extinct together
with the abundance of other fish and fish migration. We will discuss these
issues during our post production and image review evening meetings.
We continue our
exploration along the river as we will settle down for lunch at the Kampi
rapids, where many small islands and some elevation makes the river run really
fast.
After lunch and some
time to relax we continue to the village of Sambour where we will hire a boat to explore the river and meet up with locals fishing and making a living off the
river. The vast and wide river has many islands and hidden treasures to offer.
We will be spending sufficient time on the Mekong River and are able to get up
close to the local living and ancient culture.

A little south of the dolphins is a hilltop pagoda that offers great views over the surrounds and there is also some great mural art. This is a great sunset spot.

About Michael Klinkhamer:
Tour leader and professional photographer Michael Klinkhamer (56 years) lives in Cambodia since 2011 and is from Amsterdam-Holland. “I feel almost like a local by now.
My professional background in photography is close to 30 years and very diverse. I started out as a portrait/sports/aerial/newspaper and magazine photographer and took on advertising and automotive (cars) for numerous magazine publications and worked for prestigious clients in and outside the studio. In 2008, I made the switch to publishing editorial productions of pictures and words for magazines and focused on articles about travel, interviews about art and architecture as well as exhibiting my work of fine art photography. “
Over the last 3 years I held three photo exhibitions in Phnom Penh galleries and run an intimate phototour company in Cambodia. This Phnom Penh phototour generates a lot of good reviews and happy photographers who are getting the best out of their time and learn how to approach each photograph with the essential task to make it speak for itself, learning to do portraits of locals and training the eye for the hidden treasures we sometimes overlook. As I learnt a lot from my peers in the photography business, it is now my time to share all the experience and know how in film and digital photography with you, and keep learning as well. Photography is never finished ~~MK~2016.
