プノンペンフォトツアー半日フォトツアー

I am really sorry that your experience with us was not to your satisfaction. The same week I had two other photo tours and the contrast between your attitude and the people before you and after you couldn't be more opposite. They thanked me, they loved the tour and fully enjoyed our time together and one guy booked me for another session the next day! Regarding our price for a half-day photo tour, you forgot to mention that we traveled all over Phnom Penh and I paid for all your transportation. In reality, you paid USD 60 for my services. That's USD 15 per hour. That is very reasonable for a private tour. I believe the most important objective for my customers is to find special hidden locations, meet wonderful local people and get off the beaten path in order to make interesting pictures in Cambodia. That is what I offer since 2013 and that is what I delivered also to you in spades. In regard to your complaints: We did not hang in coffee shops at all. We met up at a cafe at 8 am, you had coffee, not me. We discussed your wishes and I gave you some tips and advice on how to set up your camera for your street photography tour for around 20 minutes. In honesty within 5 minutes, after I met you, I realized that I would have to work hard to please your demands and kind of standoffish and demanding attitude, to begin with. I was right about that! After that, we walked through some amazing streets and alleyways full of local faces in the heart of Phnom Penh. Yes, after one hour or more I had a coffee and water at a local outside coffee place and that took perhaps 10 minutes in all. Pretty normal and nothing wrong with that. From there of I was walking with you and pointing things out and was just as open and friendly and open as to all my customers. What I did notice was that you did not seem to listen or respond at all and sometimes walked away from me while I explained or showed you something. Pretty rude, but I don't mind that really but after this happened, again and again, I decided to I just back of a bit a let you have it your way. I am always open for talk and assisting but when I have the feeling people rather not listen, what's the point then? With some photographers, you have a bond and an engaging experience and with some, not. No problem for me, live and let live is my motto. I learned here not to be judgemental. The whole tour is about making images, not becoming lifetime friends. But even that happens, but clearly not with us. I did bring you as agreed to very special of the beaten path places unknown to you and walked with you near the fishing village. By the time we traveled all over town and to the next location the abandoned railway yard, we had spent 3.5 hours. I am offering a photo tour and experience and when people are just so critical to me or Phnom Penh there is not more than I can do than give my best to please them but I will only go to a certain level. The interaction should be engaging and fun. With you it was none. I have to admit. Our photo tour is in a total of 4 hours and before we finish there are also 15 minutes or more designated to look at your pictures and give my take on them, perhaps in the shade with a cold drink. I can't do that for you in the blazing sun in 35c heat in the slums. Unfortunately, you decided to cut our session short by 30 minutes so in your case you didn't even allow to finish the session in a proper way. Thanks for your review anyways. I hope your pictures from your tour with us prove a different visual story. At the end that is what really matters in photography. All the Best!

Thanks for your positive feedback. It was a pleasure to meet you here with your smart little girl. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Warm greetings from Phnom Penh.

Dear Rick, Thanks for your review. its good to hear that you enjoyed our guiding. I am sorry to hear that you did not receive the technical tips geared towards your level. It's always valuable to us to hear that we need to keep alert and work harder to impress demanding photographers like yourself. As far as I remember you made it clear to me that you were an advanced photographer and didn't need any guidance or pro-level tips. At least you didn't ask for any. We always ask if we can or need to help you with any questions or tips and hints, always! This time I also did give you an insight into how I work in street photography. Personally I don't like to force myself and my knowledge upon anybody. I remember you told me you knew everything and you had the pro camera. Looking forward to seeing your results! A photo tour is very much what you make it and if you don't communicate your need for technical or artistic information. I never like to force it upon you. Especially during a night tour while the golden light is fading and were out shotting. It can be such a personal experience. Next time please speak up when you are looking for more technical or artistic input, we are here to help and make your experience worth your while. $70 USD is reasonable cheap for international standards for a private 4 hour night photography tour including all transportation. I hope you got some good images anyway. Looking forward to seeing those on our photo collection or share some pictures on Instagram. You can follow us back on Instagram for daily updates of Cambodia Photo Tours. Thanks! Michael
