Photographs from Banteay Samre – Spirit of Angkor series by Lucas Varro
Tucked away beyond the main processional routes of Angkor, Banteay Samre rises in silence—a sanctuary untouched by haste. With its near-perfect preservation, steeped in solitude and symmetry, this temple feels less like a ruin and more like a waiting presence. Here, sandstone glows gold in late light. Doorways open into stillness. And the sacred lingers in every shadow.
In this collection from the Spirit of Angkor series, Lucas Varro turns his lens toward the temple’s quiet poise and austere grace. Each image was made using medium or large format black-and-white film, in moments of soft illumination—then shaped by hand through chiaroscuro and gentle toning, to reveal not architecture, but atmosphere. Presence held within form.
These limited edition prints are offered on museum-grade Hahnemühle Bamboo paper, each accompanied by a Collector’s Print Package that includes poetic writings, curatorial texts, and field notes drawn from the artist’s solitary visits.
To walk through Banteay Samre is to enter a temple that has not forgotten how to listen. These images are that listening made visible.
