The third Angkor Photography Festival,in Siem Reap,
Cambodia, aims to bring together "famous and passionate photographers of
diverse nationalities and cultures in the spirit of creativity and sharing."
It showcases print exhibitions and outdoor projections by renowned artists and photo-journalists but, say the organizers, "differentiates itself from other photographic events with its strong educational goals."
By offering free workshops for young Asian photographers and developing outreach projects for disenfranchised Cambodian youth, participants contribute their art and their time and demonstrate "that photography can change lives."
