Khon Thai, A Search For A Greater Truth

So far most of my photographs on Thailand deal with sex workers and some shots of poverty. The more I think about this limited viewpoint of the country the more I realize my photographs need to show a greater truth of who the people are. The idea behind the Khon Thai project is that I will photograph people from all aspects of Thai society. I want to show the great range of peoples in the country, show through photographic portraiture the diversity of what it is to be Thai. I need to capture the spirit of the people, to photograph who they are and to make a honest record of this great people.
