This set of photographs captures the architecture of Bangkok through the use of cityscape/urban storytelling with each single frame intertwining the existence of built structures and the urban way of life. As a Bangkok native, the city and everything in its environment felt mundane and ordinary to me. They are merely things I see in my everyday life. But the charm and beauty of the city I have discovered through the lens of my camera inspire me to capture Bangkok in a different light.
Ever since I first became interested in photography, I have always been passionate about cityscape and architectural photography. I have always been drawn to the design aspect of the subjects, which is why most of the pictures on my Instagram account are buildings and views of the city.
