Cambodia’s ancient temple city is one of the wonders of the oriental world. Masterpieces of decorative detail as well as of architectural style, its awe-inspiring ruins survive as testament to the spectacular achievements of southeast Asia’s greatest civilization. Like Cambodia itself, Angkor has suffered bitter changes of fortune down the centuries, none more so than in outr time. Today, again accessible after long years of civil war, the ruins are once more attracting world attention as a priceless heritage site. At the same time, Angkor remains an enduring monument to the people of Cambodia, their past glories, their hopes and aspirations. In Passage Through Angkor, photographer Mark Standen captures the essence of a truly remarkable place and the life that surrounds it.

Thailand is a land of Buddha images. No other country in the world presents such a wealth and variety of statues of the Enlightened One, sculpture that is both an art form and a sacred expression. Among the most striking images are the huge statues of the Lord Buddha, many rising to a height of 15 metres or more, which are seen across the Thai countryside. Buddha in the Landscape – A Sacred Expression of Thailand offers a unique insight into the Kingdom’s spiritual life and its richly varied natural beauty, from forested hills to emerald fields of rice, from tranquil villages to tropical islands and beaches.

Since its conception over a thousand years ago, Angkor, in northwestern Cambodia has been a shining symbol of spiritual unity and man’s intellectual genius.
Covering an area of some eighty square miles and comprising over seventy magnificent temples, palaces, and monuments, it represents the epitome of the ancient Khmer Empire. Angkor has been drawn, painted, photographed, and recorded in many mediums and by many artists, but Angkor – Into The Hidden Realm captures a magical and spiritual essence beyond what we can see with our own eyes. Martin Reeves’ infrared photography not only reveals to us a fascinating hidden realm, but in its mysterious beauty perhaps encapsulates what Angkor truly symbolizes. This definitive Angkor art photography collection sets out to take the viewer into a lost world, a domain of fantasy, yet one that really does exist beyond the reaches of our visual spectrum.
