Taking Pictures for

Ballers Academy

During the summer break of 2021, I was hired to be Ballers Academy's photographer, to help Mr. Pj take pictures for his team's tournament. The tournament was for U12, U17, and U20. I stayed for 4-5 hours in total to finish my job. I have to say, sports photography, especially when it's the sport 'basketball', it is not easy. As a photographer, there's a need to run along with the team members to capture their greatest moment. It was quite challenging because everything happened super quickly, it challenged my focus and my knowledge of my camera's setting.

In a court there's different brightness/ lighting in different areas, one side of the court may be brighter than the others and this forced me to change my camera's setting every time I switch places. The pictures didn't come off the best, most of them were blurry or even not focused, unlike Volleyball, basketball was so much more challenging because the team members had a greater space to move around, and it was much harder for me since the lens that I brought to the court wasn't zoomable. I wish to be better in the future when it comes to photography for basketball because I kind of get the idea of what I should do next time.

Taking Yearbook Photos for Wells' HS Clubs

Before 2021's Songkran Break I volunteered to take pictures for high school clubs, such as SERWIS, Paws, Green-hawks, etc. The reason why I volunteered to do this is that I want to break the tradition from the past where the Clubs take pictures for themselves, I wanted to make the yearbook look more professional I decided that maybe it would be a great idea if it looked more professional taken. I spent around 1-2 weeks in total making appointments with club leaders to make up a time for their photoshoot, I took pictures for 8-9 clubs in total.

It was a great experience knowing how it feels to be controlling where everyone should be standing and it was quite challenging when a club has too many people. But from this experience, I feel like I've learned and experienced: making appointments straightforwardly and experiencing the feeling of being an absolute leader for 40 seconds. Clicking the shutter speed wasn't the hard part, I would say the dedication and sacrificing my own lunchtime was the toughest, but to gain is to lose, in order to achieve a good looking yearbook may be the sacrifices I made is worth it. I hope this tradition I made can continue in the future.

Helping the Thai Department with

Loy Krathong Ceremoney

October 2020, Ari, Organ, and I helped the Thai teachers with the Loy Krathong ceremony, they needed us to make pieces of the boat. I stopped being in the Thai class for almost 2 years, doing this again brings back middle school memories when we were in thai culture class, we spent 2 hours making around 250 pieces in total, it was an impressive amount and we were proud of that even though they didn't need that much. We still did our best with the best effort to show a contribution to the culture we live in.

Photography Club's Logo on School Club Wall

As a potential leader of the photography club, I tried my hardest to earn respect from my leaders and my members.

Since I'm an art student I easily got Mr. Ren's approval to have our Club's logo on our club wall located in the cafeteria, the whole process took 2-3 weeks since I also have academics going on.

The photography club was also the only club that wasn't on the wall, to honor our existence I thought it was meaningful and a must for me to do this. I did all the work from outlining, cutting the paper, colouring, and all the way to the end. I wish the photography club could be more respected and not looked down to, here's an action from me trying to prove our value to the Wells Community because we did so much for everyone to have a picture of their experiences, allowing them to keep the memories by our hands.
