Myanmar is possibly the most photogenic place we have ever travelled to. The faces of people happy with life despite hardships, the pristine texture of a countryside unscathed by the damages of modern developement and temples that seem lost in the depths of history. Myanmar is a remarkable place where your camera will be as pleased as you at the end of every day. We found Myanmar to be an easy place to photograph. The locals are always happy to share their moments with the lens and the landscapes seem to pose in perfect lighting for every quick snap of the shutter. Everywhere you look in Myanmar there is a photo waiting to be taken, you just have to be lucky enough to capture it before it’s taken over by yet another great photo opportunity. This is a photo journey through Myanmar that will show just a fraction of what the country has to offer, for both travellers and their tripods.
That concludes our Photo Journey Through Myanmar. This post could be called 61 reasons to visit Myanmar. Every time you turn your head there’s a photo waiting to be taken, and every time you turn off the power on your camera, there are 10 more photo opportunities missed.

Amazing photos! Miss my country.
We love Myanmar! We had such a great time there. Such amazing people 🙂
Such a beautiful country, Thanks for these photos. Happy that Burma has had more visitors recently – such an amazing country should not be left isolated. With things the way they are in Thailand right now – http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-27585297 – maybe more people will head to Burma. There is another article with more on Myanmar’s rich culture and heritage for fellow travellers to get to know it a bit better – http://www.travelindochina.com/blog-articles/welcome-to-burma – may be of interest.
Hi Coby,
I agree, Myanmar is a fascinating country and it’s wonderful that it’s open to tourism now. Although people still need to be mindful of where they are spending their dollars.
Hopefully things get sorted out in Thailand soon.
Thank you for these great pictures! I will be visitng Myanmar in January 2016 and thanks to you guys I am really looking forward to it!
Cheers

You’re absolutely right about Myanmar being a very photogenic country.
I was there back in February of this year (2016) and got the best photos from my 30 years of travel.
The people there were very friendly and accommodating. Plus they never had a problem with
me taking photos and I was able to get many candid shots of people going about their daily lives.
I just discovered your blog and i really enjoy what I’ve read so far. Plus you’ve got some very good photos
in your posts. I’ve bookmarked your site and will be back for more views.
Bye the way, I also have a travel blog at roving-camera.com. I’d be honoured if you checked it out sometime.
Cheers,
Darrell
Hi Darrell! We felt the same way about Myanmar in 2012 so I’m glad that it is still the same 4 years later. The people were so kind and welcoming, and as you said, didn’t mind having their photo taken 🙂 Happy travels!
