LAY Chanveasna was born in 1989 in Siem Reap. His journey into photography began in2012 while working with children and engaging in field reporting and proposal writing. Over the past ten years, he has developed a deep passion for capturing images.

“My favorite subjects include landscapes, macro photography, and birds, which I have explored extensively. In 2019, I had the opportunity to participate in a photography workshop with SOVAN Philong, where I was introduced to conceptual art—an exciting new area for me to learn and develop further. Each photo tells a story, and sometimes these stories can change the world. I am eager to use photography as a means to create positive change.”

One in five Cambodian women is a victim of domestic violence, turning what should be a sanctuary into an unsafe and unharmonious environment. Women have the right to live free from all forms of violence. Together, we can work to end this situation and create a safer community for all.
