• Biography

I'm not only a photographer. With academic background in Economics and professional experience in journalism, I had been working both full-time and freelance as a journalist/writer/photographer for various english-language publications in Southeast Asia since 2005.

But nowadays, I prefer to focus more on art and documentary photography as well as creative writing. And with passion to continue my works into book series and experiment my photography beyond and into broader genres.

My interest is always about arts and photography. I haven't been in photography school, but have learned it by experience and passion. However, after some years, I was selected to be in a workshop mentored by a Magnum photographer, Antoine d'Agata, in 2008 Angkor Photo Festival. That's the beginning of another take and more serious start into art and documentary styles.

All my photography during the past years have been crafted on an expression of emotions; either my own feeling in personal works or lives of the others in feature documentary projects.

I'm Thai and currently based in Hadyai, southern Thailand.
