What color clothes will look good on you when taking photos at Angkor Wat?

I have seen a Cambodia travel guide on Qionyou.com, which describes in great detail the characteristics of each scenic spot and the colors of clothes to match when taking photos, etc. When I went there during the Spring Festival last year, I followed his guide. Wear them together, and the photo effect is indeed very beautiful. So I helped the poster organize it, plus my own thoughts, and put them all below. Some of the photos used are his and mine. (Search: ZazaGlobal@Cambodia to find the original version. His guide is also very good!)

Cambodia is a tropical country. The temperature remains around 30 degrees throughout the year, and there are many scenic spots in In places with woods, it is recommended to dress cooler and wear a sun-protective shirt and anti-mosquito bite spray. The main walking shoes can be canvas shoes, travel shoes, and sports shoes. If you want to take more diverse photos, bringing a pair of flip-flops is enough. Hats and gauze scarves are highly recommended if you are a girl, especially white or light-colored straw hats and red gauze scarves, which will make you stunning in Angkor Wat. So much so that after I took the photo, some domestic tourists (two young ladies) asked me to borrow a scarf, and they also wanted to take the photo.

Angkor Wat - Queen's Palace

Queen's Palace is famous for its bright colors and exquisite reliefs. It is one of the most unique and exquisite architectural complexes among the Angkor monuments. , since the entire palace is made of red sandstone, it is very suitable for deep warm colors, such as deep red, deep purple, etc. Personally, I feel that the whole place is really too small, and 30 minutes is too long to walk there.

Beng Melie - Jungle Tomb Adventure

This temple is 40 kilometers east of the Angkor monuments. Beng Melie is a Hindu temple, but some of its sculptures reflect is a Buddhist theme. The original material used to build this temple was sandstone, so many of the buildings have been damaged and are difficult to restore.

What I have to say is that Bengmilie is really too damn big... It took us about an hour and a half to walk through most of it. Everyone must remember to wear the most comfortable clothes. Shoes, even a pair for concave styling is a good idea.

Since the entire palace is still in a deep forest, the background is basically gray brick walls and lush trees, which is very suitable for colors with strong contrast, such as deep red, deep purple, dark blue and various warm colors (yellow/ Pink, etc.)

Bakong Temple - Temple Sumeru Mountain

Bakong Temple was built by Indra VarmanⅠ. It is considered to be the first multi-level temple mountain among the Angkor ruins. It is the first temple in the Angkor Dynasty to use sandstone blocks instead of red bricks, so it is of great significance. It was once a large temple in the city center. Looking from a distance, we can see a tall square tower with a pointed top, standing on a wider base.

The entire palace has five steps, which are relatively high and has the super imposing momentum of the temple, so it is suitable for girls to wear more domineering clothes, such as long skirts. Since the overall architecture tends to be gray and black, light-colored clothes will be better, preferably white.

Holy Sword Temple - The Legend of Holy Sword

In the 12th century, King Koyavarman VII built this temple to worship his father. It is said that the Great Angkor Thom was under construction at that time, and it became the temporary residence of the king, where he worshiped and studied.

The entire temple is the color of moss. More suitable for the combination of white and cyan (or dark blue). Or white and crimson.

Longpan Pool - Ancient Holy Water

Longpan Pool was built in the 12th century as a Buddhist temple. There is a small island in the center of the large pool. There is only one imitation of "Sumi Mountain" on the island. The small stone tower temple built was carved with two entwined giant snake kings (Naga) on the stone tower. There is also a white horse statue on the east side of the island. Neak Poan means "entangled giant snake", which is taken from the giant snake king on the island. Named after the image.

Bright colors are good because the background is blue.

Ta Prohm Temple - Recreate the Tomb Raider

Ta Prohm Temple is one of the best places to take blockbuster movies. It is suitable to wear dark red/dark blue/dark purple. clothes.

Ta Prohm Temple was built in 1186. Its architectural style is the same as that of Bayon Temple. It is the most mysterious attraction in Angkor Wat.

Angkor Wat - the source of Gothic style

I won’t introduce it much. The entire palace is dark or black, which is very suitable for shooting in white or bright red.

Bayon Temple - The Smile of Khmer

The 49 pagodas are all huge statues of the four-faced Buddha. The Buddha statue has a typical Khmer face and is said to be the god who built the Bayon Temple. The face of King Jayavarman VII. The Buddha statue has a peaceful smile on its face. This is the "Khmer smile" that makes Angkor Wat famous around the world. Walking among the many pagodas, at any corner, you will find smiling eyes watching every move of tourists.

The combination of black and white + one color, of course, the solemn monochrome is more welcome.

The above, I hope it helps~I tried my best~

I personally recommend red or white. Women can wear long skirts, trousers, or colorful shawls. Everyone, please pay attention to the light and shadow of Angkor Wat in the morning, noon and evening. It can be said that each step is a scene. If you can use a lens to record the characters in the light and shadow, the whole photo will look much better.

Although I didn’t take any photos, haha, I can share some pictures with you. In addition, there are many stalls selling local clothing outside the Angkor Wat scenic area. In fact, I personally think it is quite beautiful, better than many places in Thailand. Although the asking price is higher, you can bargain. The people in Angkor Wat generally do business. Whatever you get will be sold, so if you don’t have the right clothes, you can buy some locally. And as for men. . . Need to wear something nice? It’s good to be good-looking no matter what, haha~ (playful abuse)

Most temples do not allow shorts and skirts to enter, so long skirts and trousers are a must before traveling. If you really forget to bring something, it’s no problem to buy a big shawl and wrap it around your waist.

Angkor Wat is a historical and cultural site with a Gothic architectural style and earthy architectural colors. If you want to take good-looking photos of people, you can refer to a few points.

1. The clothing style design should be integrated with the entire architectural atmosphere. If you wear high heels or too modern fashion clothes, the whole picture will be very disharmonious, and the photos will definitely not look good. The simplest option is The local sarong, local traditional costumes and local traditional monuments are perfect. Of course, you can also choose long skirts and scarves. Proper matching can also have outstanding effects

2. For clothing colors, you can refer to the same color system or contrasting colors. The same color system is relatively simple and easy to master

p>

The picture above is a very typical one-color system. When the color of the clothing is chosen to be similar to the background color, the whole picture will be harmonious and atmospheric

Of course, if you want to highlight the character's image, then select Clothes with strong background colors can produce excellent results.

I hope the above answers will be helpful to you

The photos I took wearing an orange-red dress feel more like Angkor Wat.

Clothing with large color blocks of red, white and yellow is a must

Red, white and other colors that contrast strongly with Angkor Wat are good

See this I can’t help but answer the question because I like Angkor Wat so much. I have been thinking about it since I went there and I will definitely go there again.

Many answers have mentioned that the background characteristics of Angkor Wat’s stone buildings determine that bright solid colors will look better when taking photos. Such as red, blue, white and so on. Moreover, the large and small temples of Angkor Wat are really easy to take pictures of, whether it is just scenery or prominent portraits, it will look great. Here are some photos of myself for your reference. All were taken with mobile phones and have not been edited except for adding watermarks.

Finally, here is my favorite photo of Angkor Wat:

The Angkor ruins are a beautiful place. All colors are suitable for different beauties. I am wearing jumping blue. Huang everyone learns from it

Bright colors are more suitable for taking pictures in Angkor

It’s good to wear white in Angkor!
