About Julien Thomas

Have I always wanted to be a professional photographer? Not at all!
It all beguan along the original reasons why I came to Southeast Asia.

Julien Thomas

Nowadays most companies inform their clients about their ecological or humanitarian projects related to their visions, e.g.: ‘helping a poor community’, ‘planting trees’, etc.
This page inform about Julien’s first two journeys in Southeast Asia, before settling down in Cambodia and turning as a high-end 360° photographer.

Simply said, he arrived on this continent as a seasoned traveler, a true “badass traveler”, result of his years and years of “out of the box” experiences in other countries.

In his early years here, he was focused on long-term and adventurous trips to discover this new continent, venturing in areas the farthest away from on-growing cities. This episode represents his jump into professional photography and photojournalism.

Then and again for a few years, he chose to devote himself in organizing and leading courses for underprivileged schoolchildren, with the goal to teach how to craft children’s toys from discarded plastic waste/bags.

Photojournalism

This is his big jump into photography, in 2010.

This topic reflects his memories in the remote countrysides and authentic ways of life which he loved (and still loves) to immerse himself.

What is important is to pass on / convey what we have seen, to pass on / convey what we have learned, otherwise all we have done has pretty much no importance. Because there is only one thing that matters to people: knowledge.
