A good book has surprises, with the framing of a photograph, the relationship between images and the sequences as pages turn. Life Explore Soul invites this level of engagement for a viewer, through its juxtapositions, directing our eyes with multiple focal points, perspective shifts, and mysterious elements. At times one is unsure if these are images captured in a camera or constructed through collage. Sometimes his pictures seem obvious, then more enigmatic, as they show life of the everyday as seemingly surreal, often with jarring and provocative contrasts and unexpected associations. We do feel some of Sakulchai’s inspiration, as he himself acknowledges, in the work of HCB, Alex Webb, Harry Gruyaert and perhaps others, through his use of shadow, light, color and gesture. However, it is the combination of his vision in the landscape within which he is working which is most impressive as he shapes his seeing of the surrounding world and makes it more visible to us all.

Always remember the words of one of my friend who talk about bokeh and the decisive moment of many great photographers. Beauty and perfect shots of their works are stunning. Since the beginning of recording my work on Flickr, I never imagined I would walk this far. The camera used is SONY A7s with Leica 35mm summicron ASPH Voigtlander 28mm Ultron Leica m6 Ricoh GR Most of pictures were taken in Songkhla, my hometown. I believe in cultivating ideas. Same place, different time. We shall reap more perspectives. Sakulchai Sikitikul
