Travel Photos: Thailand and Cambodia

These are long over due but luckily travel photos don’t go out of vogue :-). Late last year, my wife and I traveled to Thailand and Cambodia. We began in Bangkok where we were met with heavy rain before flying over to Angkor Wat, Cambodia, to see the famed temples of the UNESCO world heritage site. We then flew up to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand which is known for it’s cuisine, cooler climate, and city life. Finally, we went down to the Andaman Coast of southern Thailand where we relaxed on the beaches of Phuket, Ko Phi Phi, and Krabi.

Thailand is such a wonderful country, from the hospitable nature of it’s citizens, the delicious culinary options, the dirt cheap (and amazing) massages, and the beauty of the country’s landscape. I definitely want to go back because there is so much more to do than two weeks can afford.

Here is a selection of some of my favorite images, even though there are so many other images that serve as a small reminder of all we experienced there:

I've been shooting professionally since 2009—ever since I bought my first DSLR and realized I love making images. Since then, photography has been nothing short of a passion for me. Regardless of what I'm shooting or who I'm shooting it for, it's important to me that my client is satisfied and feels that the photos represent them in the best possible light. Making a photo is a personal experience. That's why I do what it takes to make sure that my subjects' personalities shine through an image—whether it's a portrait, corporate headshot, fashion line, music festival, family photo, or product shot, every image is sincere and true to self. A little more about me: I'm a Californian, born and raised. I grew up in L.A. before moving to the Bay Area to attend undergraduate and graduate school at UC Berkeley. My interests in policy and photography brought me to Washington, DC where I'm currently living and loving it. Outside of photography, I love dark beers and new gadgets. My studio is in the neighborhood of Columbia Heights, near Adams Morgan. I'm always excited to talk about photography and work with new people.
