Rodgen Jabor and Elaine Francisco-Ledesma
Outdoors versus indoors, slow movement versus fast movement: Rodgen Jabor
combines a good angle with perfect timing in this action shot of a fisherman
casting his net at Mechrey Village. Elaine Francisco-Ledesma’s image of these
elegant
apsara
dancers onstage hints at the richness of Khmer culture. In both
cases, it’s the captured moment that makes these pictures work.
Arturo Dedace and Maricel Flores-Barnes
Ordinary activities can often give interesting insights into the daily life of a place.
Arturo Dedace reveals the preferred form of transport in Cambodia with his image
of schoolkids biking home from work. Maricel Flores-Barnes, on the other hand,
gives us a backstage view of a native dance show with this shot of an
apsara
performer putting on her makeup.
