Do you need a world class photographer?

This site is far from the normal photographer's website. It represents the product of my numerous skills and experiences acquired in a variety of important jobs and during my travels abroad.

I am a photojournalist based in Thailand. What makes me unique is that I am also a web designer and developer (see examples below of my web related businesses).

Hiring a photographer requires more than just looking at his pictures. You need to feel comfortable with the photographer as a person as he needs to interact with his subjects. His subjects in turn must also feel comfortable with the photographer. Only then will the subject open themselves to be photographed.

Hopefully, this website will also give you some insight of what I am like as a person.

On the edge, unusual and unforgettable photography

One thing that I have learned over the 20 years Gallery Shot is that the secret of shooting great photographs requires the photographer to be constantly weighing the chances of uncovering a unique photographic opportunity.

He needs to look for the photograph no one else is shooting or even seeing. Of course the photographer's eye is ever so important, and it is seeing that special shot – the one that captivates the eventual viewer and that gives you the edge over other photographers.

Your man in Thailand

I love this country. I have spent nine wonderful years here in Thailand. I have connected into its very and I have developed a compassion for the wonderful people I have met here. It's never easy as this lovely and unique country continuously throws new challenges at you, like the language barrier, cultural differences and an array of technical difficulties—all of which I have overcome because I have decided to call Thailand my home.

Websites, logos, graphics, programming, etc

Before I was a photographer, I was a computer programmer. So when the Internet came along and "having an online portfolio" became the craze for all photographers, I found that I could just as easily create websites and graphics as I could shoot pictures. The allure of the Internet seduced me into spending an enormous amount of time learning to make well-designed websites. I found I can easily pickup web programming languages. So again, I am proficient in such programming languages as HTML, XHTML, MySQL (database language), CSS, Javascript, and PHP.

Recently, I have added Ruby on Rails and AJAX to my programming toolkit. So if you need a website, even if it is a powerful website with a database, I can build that too.
