My tiny Apsara Dancer



This is the traditional Khmier dance. This style of dance has been around since the Angkor period, about 2,000 years ago. It was almost wiped out during the regime of Pol Pot as he tried to "sterilize" the country and start over. Wile i am here in Siem Reap i plan on hiring a Apsara Dancer to photograph in the Angkor Temples. I'd like to take advantage of The Golden Hour. This is the hour in the day when sunset is happening and the quality of light is incredible at the temple grounds. I will be able to explore my limits, testing my capturing skills and direction of light in the temples will be a feat.

Keep posted for photos soon!!
