In the second half of last year, in August precisely, Sukurat reached out for us to photograph her 30th. birthday photos. This wasn’t my first time photographing her as i’ve been doing that from our days in school, and I also photographed her 25th and 28th birthday photos. But her reaching out again this time...
Visual storytelling doesn’t announce itself loudly. Its impact is often subtle at first; a pause, a longer look, and a feeling that something resonates even before it’s fully understood.
