Tanarak Visessonchoke was interested in photography since 10 and extremely sensitive to things that happened around him. His thought was that emotions can happen any second. He was fascinated in capturing the emotions of newly wedded couple and their friends and relatives.
How did you create your international brand, and which has allowed you to become who you are?
My photography style is natural, and nowadays it is called wedding photojournalist style. I also attach my personal touch of art that creates my own style with the bright and cheerful feel to every single frame I create. After completing my Architectural degree, I started working as an art director before starting the photography career.
How do you manage the signature of contracts?
Usually, every couple comes to my studio for their wedding shoot. I show them my past work and sample album. Most couples have already seen my photo shoots online and my package’s price. And after seeing my work, if they want to contract with me, then they sign it.
Do you manage events in a more friendly way or detached way?
I really love to do my work in a more friendly way and listen to the couple and their story. Because I think that it is important to understand the feelings of couple and make them look extraordinary beautiful in pictures.
You get a very recognizable style. How you got there?
Yeah, people usually ask this question from me, but I want to tell you that my photography style is based on natural and real color with heavy effect. If you will see your pictures after years, the color of the images remains natural and the same.
Have you taken a photoshoot of any famous celebrity?
Over the past 14 years, I did more than 400 wedding shoots. I also did a wedding photoshoot of different celebrity, and I can share some of them like:
•Chui Tienyou (Actor & Singer in Hong Kong)
