Bangkok People's Lifescene

Bangkok, the city of angels, is probably one of the most hectic and soulful city in the world. Every people I've met, every portrait I shot is a story itself. Yaowarat & Klong Toey market is the most photogenic areas of the town. The authentic is balanced with energy and traditions...

Actually, i was born in Thailand in 1989, I spent the first six years of my life between the rice fields of Isaan and the hectic streets of Bangkok.

The unpredictable aspect of life made me spend the next 20 years in the south of France, then in Paris, before I decided it was time for me to link up with my origins. So here I am, making the most of this double-culture, establishing connections between my two worlds.

"Connections"...

This is what Photography is about to me. Self-taught photographer, I am catching the hidden gems of my siamese life through this double culture's perspective by capturing moments, places, and faces that cross my path, in the “land of smiles” or elsewhere.

I've found in this turning point some unexpected ressources of creativity, motivation and strength, which allow me to share with you today, some photographic scenes & short stories of Bangkok.
