PHOTO ESSAY : COINCIDENCES IN THE STREET

(For Thai, press here)
This photo essay collects unplanned street moments where timing, color and gesture align by chance.
On streets I know well, I look for visual connections between people and their surroundings: someone walking or pausing in front of a mural or poster, a passer-by echoing an image on a wall, or a person whose movement suddenly fits the background.
I am drawn to scenes that make me laugh, pause, or stop and wonder, “Did that really happen?” The photographs invite a second look at ordinary places and how coincidences can change the way we see the street.
