  BANGKOK PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS

  Feb 2015 - now

  Media Specialist

  Bangkok Photography Workshops is designed to be directly aimed at the photographing experience, whether you are just starting out using a camera or a professional photographer looking to sharpen under-utilized skills. Photography is a shared experience between the ‘act of photographing’ and the ‘photographers relationship within the environment’. Each time we step out into the world to take photos either for pleasure or for work, those two factors are always in force. The quality of our images can be measured by how well the photographer synchronizes with these two factors.BPW has created a unique tour taking you deep inside the labyrinth sois of Chinatown uncovering the characters and unusual sights that are usually hidden to the ordinary visitor. Not only will you get the chance to challenge your photography skills you will have an authentic experience meeting local people, seeing local custom and the odd unexpected surprise or two as does happen in these neighborhoods.
