Organization introduction:

 

Created in 2005, the Angkor Photo Festival is the first such event to be organized in Southeast Asia. Each year, and for a week the festival showcases exhibitions and outdoor slideshows by celebrating international and emerging Asian photographers' works in Siem Reap.
