REMI ABAD
Photographer & Tour Leader - Journalist - English / French
Hunting for the significant image, documenting daily life and always putting humans into the frame: that’s probably the 3 rules guiding the practice of photography since Remi handled a Nikon Fm decades ago. Starting from analog camera was a perfect way to learn all of the basic rules, from settings to framing. His enthusiasm increased when the digital era came.
Since then, Rémi traveled around Europe and Asia, always in quest of more images. Going deep into cultures, trying to document human beings without any judgment and referring to “humanist photography” have always been his main purpose.
Settled in Cambodia since 2013, Rémi works as a journalist and compulsively takes tons of shots of this amazing and beloved country.
