‘The Angkor Wat’ by Simon Heard

"With the highlight of my Cambodia trip being the Angkor Wat area I wanted a combination that would show off the history of the place. I decided to use the G2 lens which gives a good sharp strong contrast image. I wanted to capture as much detail in the image as possible so this lens felt like the perfect choice. To capture the history of the place I wanted a film with an aged look but one that wasn't too aged. The Robusta film had a good balance with a slight yellow hue and a distressed grey vignette.

The Angkor Wat region is a beautiful flat area surrounded by trees and lakes with these grand impressive Buddhist and Hindu structures. Some of these structures are still in very good condition and command your attention whilst others are all but destroyed and overgrown with trees, grass and moss as nature claims the area back."
