I started by street photography, exhibited in photo festivals such as Paris Mois de la photo Off ,Transphotographiques,
and switched to Portrait photography.
I aim to make my first photobook about Bangkok and its people : BKK is so amazing, inspiring, charming ... I love people from BKK who might be so lovely and generous . There is definitely not much photobooks about that big city if you think of Paris, London, Tokyo, New York ....
I joined the Model Mayhem community as I found pretty convenient to find models, MUA and hairdressers in Bangkok that way .
My inspiring photographers are
Shoji Ueda, Irving Penn, Paolo Roversi, Albert Watson, Masahisa Fukase,
Nick Night , Nadav Kander, Mona Kuhn, Werner Bischof, Tim Walker, Georgi Pinkhassov, Omar Viktor Diop ...
I am very fond of Japanese photography.
In 2013 I co-write "Revelations" ,
a book about the new generation of Japanese photography
with some interviews
with famous Japanese photographers such as Araki, Rinko Kawauchi, Toshio Shibata, Naoya Hatakeyama, Kaoru Izima ...
