In 2014, I tried to capture picture of fighting fish but it did not work. Until early 2015, I started the fish project again to capture the beauty of single moment of my pets, since then it has become the series called “THE ELEGANT OF SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH”.
This work is motivated by my personal interest in Thai betta fish, which was my childhood pet and a symbol from Southeast Asia. Nowadays, betta fish breed development has reached high levels of color variations and physical appearance. I would like to emphasize the beauty which mother nature created, by selecting specific colors and shapes of exceptional fish to fully express nature's creation through the lights, shade, and techniques of photography.

About author:
I was born in 1990 and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Geology from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. The turning point of my life to become a photographer was during my last year in the university. I took photography course and found myself in love with sharing the beauty of things around me, such as nature, wild life and animal to everyone by my view of art. Since then, I seriously started learning about photography with my passion. Afterwards, I have had many opportunities to experience different kind of photography in the way as a freelance photographer.BACK TO GALLERY
