Hidden from the busy Luang Road in Bangkok, an old and run-down building is home to low-income families, many are migrants from rural Thailand or neighboring countries. Over a period of six months, I visited the building several times to get to know the people, their life and stories. What I found is not only the appalling living conditions, but also a lively, friendly and supportive neighborhood where those who need help the most can count on others. These images are part of longer photo essay.
I have learned to appreciate the power of photos, and photography has become my second profession. I spend much time with exploring neighborhoods to see where and how people live and work, and to talk to them to understand their stories before taking photos. Also, I often wander in markets, railway stations and other public places where human activity unfolds to capture moments of drama, humor and humanity in our fast-paced life. Telling stories through pictures is my passion. I am based in Budapest and Bangkok, and I regularly travel for photography around Southeast Asia.
