About my photography
After I completed my BA, I have been using my photojournalism to speak out for my native Northern Thai people.
In 2014, I start telling stories from my hometown, Chiang Mai during the annual air pollution crisis in Northern Thailand. The story entitled " Delve Into A Smoke Crisis In Northern Thailand " was published by National Geographic Thailand in 2015.
By combining photographic vision with research, journalistic skill, and background, I'm able to create unique ways to tell stories. Highlighting the importance of underreported issues that impacting our lives has grown to be my main focus.
Zooming in on trans-boundary matters in the Mekong region will show how people's lives and activities are connected to the rest of the world.
On my part, I have my ultimate goal to bring out a deep understanding of the human interest story.
These truly are the stories of my time.
