About us

Hey!

Luknam and Lukas here!

We're two Bangkok-based photographers who started from zero, figured out what makes photos actually feel like something, and built a business around it. Over 1,250 photoshoots later, we're still at it every day.

Our story

We started with 600 baht and zero experience

It was 2021, deep into Covid. Temples were closed, tourists were gone, and Bangkok looked nothing like the city you see today. We were charging 600 baht for an hour-long photoshoot, practicing on whoever would let us point a camera at them.

The whole thing started earlier, in 2019, when we did a neon photoshoot as tourists ourselves. The colors, the energy, the way a simple street could look electric at night. We wanted to create that. We started doing it, and we never stopped.

We also started on Airbnb's attractions platform, which put us in front of travelers looking for experiences. That early exposure shaped how we think about guiding people through a city they've never shot in before.

The colors pulled us in first. Everything we do still comes back to that.

Our approach

We call it vibe photography

Most photographers fill their portfolios with young model collaborations. It's the path of least resistance, and it's everywhere. Our galleries are real clients, 99% of them first-timers, because that's actually who we work with.

The concept is simple: the most important thing in a photo is the vibe. Where you are, how you feel, what the light looks like. Posing matters, but a great spot does most of the work before you even move.

We choose locations that look compelling on their own. Then we position you inside them in a way that already works, and we layer in poses from there. We have dozens to choose from, and we match them to your body type, your energy, and your group:

  • Solo shoots
  • Couples
  • Families
  • Groups of friends

We're fluent in English, which is not something you can always count on with photographers in Bangkok. We communicate clearly throughout the session so you always know what we're going for.

We've shot all our locations dozens, sometimes hundreds of times. Routes, timing, transport, lighting windows. It's planned in advance so you don't waste a minute of your session figuring it out on the spot.

Turnaround for a one-hour session edit

The editing timeline is worth mentioning. A one-hour session takes us just over an hour to edit. We genuinely do not understand how most photographers need two weeks or a month. Industry standards are low, and we've never seen a reason to meet them.

We've built a workflow where good photos happen fast. A minute per spot is often all it takes. Clients always receive more photos than the quoted number, because the workflow moves quickly and we'd rather give you more than hold back.

The team

Two licensed photographers. Always one of us at your session.

We're both licensed photographers and videographers, and we shoot almost daily. That said, we travel every month, both internationally and across Thailand, and we're working toward shooting in every major city and island in Southeast Asia.

For the times when we're away, we work with two local photographers who share the same eye, the same locations, and the same approach. The work in our galleries is the work you'll get.

The website was built around Bangkok, but we're actively expanding. Other locations in Thailand and nearby countries are already in progress.

Our signature

Chinatown at night is where we live

Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown, is our favorite location and our specialty. The neon signs, the colors, the movement. It's where the whole thing started for us in 2019, and it remains our signature shoot.

Color is something we're always drawn to. It shapes where we take you, which angle we shoot from, and how we edit the final images. A photo should feel like somewhere, not just look like somewhere.

Let's make something good

If any of this resonates, we'd love to take you somewhere that looks great on camera and feels even better in person.
