Stunning images of Asia from photographer John McDermott. John has been photographing Asia for the past fifteen years. From 1993 to 1997 McDermott worked as the Chief Photographer for Manager Magazine, a Bangkok-based English-language monthly magazine that covered business, culture and lifestyle throughout the region. During his travels, McDermott developed a strong personal interest in the many cultural heritage sites and ancient historical ruins spread across the continent.
Bio
John’s work on Angkor in Cambodia is part of a long-term fine art photography project focusing on cultural heritage across Asia. Among the many people and places he has photographed are the ancient capitals of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai in Thailand; the town of Luang Prabang in Laos; the temple-strewn plains of Bagan, Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, and hill tribe people in the Shan State in Myanmar (Burma); the monuments of Hue and the historical colonial fishing port of Hoi An in Vietnam; and the Great Wall of China. Most recently McDermott has focused on Angkor to create an in-depth study of the complex as it enters a period of rapid transition.
McDermott’s work has been exhibited internationally and is held in museum and private collections worldwide, including works on permanent display in The National Museum of Cambodia in Phnom Penh. His photographs have been published in The New York Times, Conde Nast Traveler, Newsweek, Time, Travel + Leisure, and Archaeology Magazine. He also contributed photography to the books Southeast Asia—Passage Through Time, published by Ringier in 2001, and A Day In The Life of Thailand, published by Collins in 1995.
In the spring of 2000, McDermott spent four months photographing museums across mainland Southeast Asia to illustrate the book The Extraordinary Museums of Southeast Asia published in 2001 by Harry N. Abrams, Inc. For this project he photographed 28 museums in five countries, and over 200 of his photographs appear in this book.
Now based in Siem Reap, he has become involved in the exciting Cambodian arts scene, opening two branches of McDermott Gallery, which are dedicated exclusively to fine art photography, as well as the Red Gallery, which is devoted to contemporary Cambodian art in all media.
