Feeling every shot you take
Feeling every shot you take

When did you get interested and why?
I used to be incredibly interested when I was about 10 years old and my father gave me the family camera to take the holiday shots, even at that age I took better photos than my Dad!

When I was older, I got back into photography when i was working for traffic corner - a Thai TV channel even though I worked as the corporate officer, a lot of the times I had to go to events and things with the PR guys, and they would take photos etc, sometimes they were busy and I ended up taking them, and I fell back in love with photography

Do you remember the first photo that you took?
Yes I do, my first job on my own was taking a photo of a girl from Issan who wanted her pic taking professionally so she could send it to a guy that she?d met on the internet. I remember it well, I gave her my clothes, and did her make up and did a lot of photo shop on the image! But it must have worked, because she ended up marrying the guy!

What?s your favourite subject matter?
I love taking photos of beautiful girls; their curves, beautiful eyes, great skin, women are beautiful to look at. I took photos of Calendar Girl 2011.

I actually love taking photos of everything; I get to put it all in the pic and experience the emotion of the shot. For example, when I go to a wedding I need to feel the happiness from the couple to take a good shot.

It was also my great honour to take photos for the King, and one of his charity projects and so I visited many poor children to one of his projects, and you must feel their pain, you focus on the eyes or the holes in their shirt?

You?ve got to identify the feeling and decided what to focus on.

I work freelance and take photos all over Thailand: Phuket, Krabi, Hat Yai and Bangkok. I take photos of weddings, parties, food, hotels, all of that?

My photography teacher, Suvicha Premjaicheun ? who has taken photos of the king - was a great inspiration to me, before I started, I just wanted to be a photographer, he made me want to be an artists.

How has technology changed the photography? Do you use it all?

It?s very important for photographers to try to follow technology, but without losing the art of picture taking. In the last 10 years, it?s changed from film to digital? If you can?t use photoshop you can?t put what you want to put inside it. For example you can put effects in it, and make a picture like your dream and use your imagination.

Do you think people respect photos the same way they did in the past?

Photos with power that are really good will always be respected and should still be printed out. But photography like everything else needs to follow the way the world is going.

Yes people don?t print out the photos like they used to, just like they dotn really buy books or magazines anymore, we need to keep up with technology

7. Paintings to photos Future of image capturing??
Maybe eyes will take photos, I still like to draw things, so I don?t think so much will change, as long as we are still human, we will still have expression and art. Art is going nowehere?
