James, local photographer in Doi Inthanon

Style:

Documentary lifestyle with a fashion influence. Timeless classic feel.

Likes:

My Royal Enfield motorcycle as I love the fact that in this digital world this bike is decidedly analogue.
People that believe in true love. It exists but most people can’t see it. I hope that you will see it within the photos that I take.
The green mountains that surround Chiang Mai. They are magical and will re-charge your soul and they are also home to the elephant, my favourite animal on Earth.

Recommended places:

If you are having a quick photo shoot, Thapae Gate is an icon of the city and we also have the city moat either side of the gate plus lots of small and interesting lanes. I always get great shots around this area.
Chiang Mai is well known for it’s many temples so an early morning photoshoot at Wat Doi Suthep on the mountain is fantastic or if in the city, Wat Prah Singh and Wat Chedi Luang are also very popular. The latter is close to the Three Kings Monument so can be combined very easily.
I love taking portraits of people with elephants so if you would like to do this and are visiting Chai Lai Orchid or Patara Elephant Farm, these are two of my favourite places to shoot with the elephants.

English and enough Thai to get by.
