Fotograf Nat Wongsaroj

—Sunteți fotogenic?

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

—Care va fi viitorul fotografiei?

—Există tendințe în fotografia?

—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!
