PHOTO ESSAY : BANGKOK URBAN STORIES

TEXT & PHOTO: HIROTARO SONO

(For Thai, press here)

I always try to find the stories hidden in the details when I walk in urban spaces.
Especially about the relationship between spaces and people.

Why does this space seem comfy?” “What element makes an atmosphere like this?”

Urban Spaces are created by humans. So it is full of someone’s ideas.
And the amount of ideas are too much to understand in a second.
So if we want to enjoy our urban walk, we have to fully concentrate to catch these ideas and stories hidden in an urban space. 

I shoot when I feel like I am able to notice stories,
for my inspiration to design architecture,
and for my happiness to be shared with someone.

This is my point of view.
And this is my Bangkok.

WHAT
“What?” is the most asked question we got after we introduced the team name “TUEN”. Because our customers and suppliers probably not sure if they heard the name correctly.
