PHOTO ESSAY : COINCIDENCES IN THE STREET

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.

PHOTO ESSAY : LAYERS OF THE CITY


TEXT & PHOTO: PUTTIPONG NIPATUTIT

This series was created through in-camera multiple exposure, a technique that lets me view the city from an angle that feels unfamiliar. The intention was never to drift into fantasy. Rather, it is to suggest that urban life contains more strata than what we usually allow ourselves to see: roads cutting across towers, strangers passing one another, and the interplay of light, color, and sound that unfolds all at once, without choreography. 

By layering these moments into a single frame, the technique becomes a way of recording both the city’s daily commotion and the small, almost imperceptible rhythms of order that sit quietly beneath it. 

What I hope for is simple: that the familiar city might be seen again, but felt differently. 

All photographs in this series were taken using the multiple-exposure function, with no digital retouching. I began exploring film-based multiple exposure in 2020, long before realizing that many digital cameras offered the same capability. That discovery eventually led me to experiment across both formats, and I continue to work with film and digital today.

PHOTO ESSAY : CATS IN THE AIR

“Whenever I walk past small corners of the city, I often see cats leaping with natural ease. Without preparation, without ritual, these brief moments capture a sense of simple living. Such glimpses become like quiet notes, reminding us that certain beauty is always hidden in the little things around us.”
