Mak Remissa: One Life

Highly regarded local shutterbug Mak Remissa has submitted work to this year’s One Life international photo competition. First prize is $10,000.

The three photos submitted come from Mr Remissa’s 2005 fine art series titled “When the water rises, the fish eats the ant; when the water recedes, the ant eats the fish.”

Mak Remissa is regarded as one of the most successful Khmer photographers of his generation. He credits his first and third place awards in the National Photojournalism competition in 1997 held by the Foreign Correspondents’ Club and chaired by Phillip Jones Griffiths as a major catalyst in his career. Currently working as a photojournalist for the European Pressphoto Agency (EPA), his work is often seen on the international news wires. He has also utilised Phnom Penh galleries like Popil and Java and the Angkor Photo Festival to showcase his 2005 fine art photography exhibition, titled after a traditional Khmer proverb: “When the water rises, the fish eats the ant; when the water recedes, the ant eats the fish.”

Voting is open to the public.
