Life on the Water: Fishermen of the Tonle Sap, Cambodia.This visual documentary photograph shows a fisherman and his family in Kampong Phluk, a stilted village on the edge of Tonle Sap Lake, near Siem Reap, Cambodia. Here, daily life is shaped entirely by water, seasons, and centuries-old fishing traditions.Each year during the monsoon, the Tonle Sap expands dramatically as floodwaters reverse from the Mekong River, submerging forests and transforming villages into waterways. Homes rise six to ten metres above the water on wooden stilts, boats replace roads, and life adapts to the lake’s rhythm. In the dry season, the water retreats, land reappears beneath the houses, and the cycle begins again.Fishing on the Tonle Sap is more than a livelihood — it is culture, inheritance, and survival, passed down through generations. But this fragile balance is under threat. Upstream dam construction, climate change, overfishing, pollution, and deforestation are disrupting natural flood cycles, reducing fish stocks, and placing increasing pressure on communities who depend entirely on the lake. Photographed by Jonathan Taylor, this work is part of an ongoing photojournalism and documentary photography project examining communities living at the intersection of environmental change, tradition, and survival in Southeast Asia. A way of life suspended between water and land — quietly fighting to endure.

Discover Bhutan Through Your Lens: A Photography Tour Like No Other

If you’ve ever dreamed of photographing a country where ancient culture, dramatic landscapes, and spiritual depth come together in perfect harmony, Bhutan should be at the top of your list. My Bhutan Photography Tour is designed for photographers of all levels who want to elevate their skills while experiencing one of the world’s most captivating destinations.

Bhutan—often called The Land of the Thunder Dragon—offers a rare blend of untouched natural beauty and vibrant cultural heritage. From the golden light at the Buddha Dordenma to the towering grandeur of Punakha Dzong, every day presents new opportunities to capture images rich in story, color, and emotion. With guided access to traditional villages, monasteries, festivals, and remote landscapes, you’ll build a portfolio filled with authentic, meaningful moments.

Alongside our expert cultural guide Kinlay Tshering Dorji, I provide hands-on photographic instruction throughout the journey—focusing on composition, light, timing, and visual storytelling. Whether we’re hiking to the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery or documenting local life in Paro’s markets, you’ll learn to approach each scene with confidence and creativity.

Our tours (available in 7-day or 10-day itineraries) include everything—visas, comfortable accommodation, meals, transportation, Bhutan’s SDF fee, and all entrance passes—so you can concentrate entirely on your photography.

If you’re seeking a transformative travel experience that expands both your craft and your understanding of one of the world’s most fascinating cultures, Bhutan is waiting.

Join us and see Bhutan the way only photographers can—one unforgettable frame at a time.

Diego Leal – Three Day Photography Course, Siem Reap

I took a three-day photography course in Siem Reap, Cambodia as a complete beginner. Among many other aspects, three things stood out from Jonathan’s teaching. First, he knows how to build your skills progressively, moving from controlled environments and techniques to real-life situations where you apply what you’ve learned. Second, his extensive background in social journalism helps you understand how to navigate the spaces in which you’re shooting. Lastly, he provides constant feedback throughout the course, making it a genuinely action-based experience rather than a classroom exercise.

Overall, you’re not just getting a standard photography course. You’re gaining access to the knowledge Jonathan has built over decades as a social journalist and commercial photographer in the region. That, I think, is at the top of what makes this course truly worth it.
