This famous photograph by the German photographer August Sander has been a great influence on my coming "Khon Thai" project. The heroic nature and strength of this man is inspiring. There is such a rugged independence to him, a sense of finding his place in the world of accepting that place and thriving in it.
If I can give my Thai people photographs a similar feeling of place and belonging, if I can communicate who and what they are in Sander fashion then the project will be a success, I will have accomplished my goal.
