Print editions
Limited-edition prints are sold as archival pigment prints on cotton rag paper. Each print is signed and numbered, and the edition size is stated on the certificate that ships with the work.Commissioned documentation
Commissioned shoots cover field travel, editing and usage rights for a defined period. The final selection and the license terms are agreed in writing before the assignment begins.Archive licensing
Images from the archive are licensed for editorial and heritage projects. Commercial use, resale or redistribution of the files is not included unless a separate license is signed.Returns and delivery
Prints are packed flat in rigid mailers and shipped with tracking. If a print arrives damaged, send a photo within seven days and a replacement will be arranged at no extra cost.Field notes and essays
Field notes published on this site reflect the observations of the photographer at the time of shooting. They are not academic studies and should not be cited as such without permission.Ethical storytelling
People shown in the archive are photographed with consent and respect. We do not stage scenes or misrepresent the context of a place, and we remove any image if a subject requests it.Send a brief outline of your project to info@terresdumekong.com. Include the location, the timeframe you have in mind, and what you plan to use the images for. We usually reply within two working days with a rough plan and a list of questions about access and permissions.
Selected essays from the archive are offered as limited-edition exhibition catalogs. Each catalog is printed on rice-paper stock and numbered by hand. If you are interested in a specific essay, check the project page for availability or write to us directly.
Licensing depends on the image and the intended use. Editorial requests for NGOs and regional publications are handled case by case. Tell us the publication, the circulation, and the context, and we will confirm whether the image is available and under what terms.
Yes. A large part of our commissioned work involves documenting vernacular architecture, craft traditions, and seasonal practices for heritage projects. We are comfortable working alongside local communities and can adapt to the ethical guidelines of your organization.
The archive is organized by theme and by river section. If you are looking for a particular market, village, or building type, use the resources page to browse the index, or contact us and we will point you to the relevant essays and field notes.
Email is the most reliable channel. For urgent matters, you can call +60 13 466 3474 during studio hours. If you prefer to read more about how we approach documentation, the resources page has field notes and methodology guides.
