Fotograf Nat Wongsaroj

—Er du fotogen?

—Well, I usually like to stay behind the camera but occasionally I love being in front of the camera too!

—Hvordan blev du en del af fotografiindustrien?

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ud for fotografering?

—We will be using smart drones for OCF, we will have nano light with 2,400 Watt-seconds power that can last a month without recharging and we will be shooting with ISO 429,4967,296 without any noticeable noise.Oh wait, can I just get iPhone 's battery that last the full day first?

—Er der nogen tendenser inden for fotografering?

—I don't really follow trend, I just do what I love and hopefully my clients will love them do. There are a lot of light and airy images floating around Pinterest and Film Photographer seem to be the cool kids. I do love light and airy images as much as dark and dramatic images. While I used to spend significant amount of my time in the dark room processing black and white films, I am a practical guy and I don't think that film is practical and you can't really burst continuously to capture the moments using film!
