ANJALI KIDS PHOTO WORKSHOPS [ NOV 25 – DEC 7, 2016 ]
Initiated in 2005 by Magnum photographer Antoine D’Agata, the Anjali Photo Workshops engages the children of Anjali House in creative expression through photography.

12TH EDITION: ANGKOR PHOTO WORKSHOPS
Created in 2005, the free Angkor Photo Workshops aim to provide affordable, accessible and high-quality training to the region’s emerging talents. The workshops are aimed at elevating each participant’s photography by challenging their personal approach and understanding of the craft. Tutors seek to nurture each participant’s individual photographic vision and voice.
Each year, 30 emerging photographers from Asia are selected from our open call for applications. Under the tutelage of six international photographers, participants complete a photo essay during the intensive week- long workshops, culminating in a showcase of all participants’ work on the festival’s Closing Night.
With a network of over 280 workshop alumni all over Asia today, the Angkor Photo Workshops have also played a critical role in developing Asia’s photographic community. Over the past 11 years, it has been heartening and humbling to witness many of our alumni returning to become mentors and tutors for their younger peers.

Guided by volunteer photographers, the children are brought on special excursions to different places, and the older participants also get to bring their cameras home to photograph their lives, friends and families. As always, the children’s photographs will be showcased on ‘Children’s Day’ during the festival, a special event which brings the kids together with festival attendees-
