Although I never took any classes in photography, the opportunity to learn in the year 2000, when film cameras were still the standard, completely shifted my outlook. After that, I made it my mission to educate myself on every possible photographic specialty.

Now, I've worked as a photographer for MOCA BANGKOK.
