Asia is a beautiful and mysterious continent with breathtaking landscapes and deep-rooted
traditions. This is exactly how photographer Weerapong Chaipuck shows it in his photos. Looking at
his work, it is hard to believe that he took up photography only after an early retirement from the
medical profession.
His main interest is travel and landscape photography, through which he shows us the beauty of our
world. “To create a project, you must do homework about the place; which season and period of
time are optimal for taking photographs, what is the vantage point, which lens should be used, and
what your post production process is going to look like,” – says Chaipuck. And that homework has
paid off with well-executed and stunningly atmospheric shots.
Although he uses a lot of Photoshop and other production techniques to create his star trail photos,
he says that the atmospheric qualities of his shots are thanks to knowing the right time of day to
shoot. “When shooting landscapes, it is 100% natural, and pinpointing the exact time of day to
shoot, whether that be 30 minutes before the sun begins to rise or 30 minutes before sunset, is a
constant challenge. But that’s also what makes it all worth it,” he says.

泰國攝影師 Weerapong Chaipuck,年過半百的他從服務多年的醫療行業退休之後忽然發覺自己愛上了攝影,於是約在 2011 年時果斷拿起相機踏上了攝影之旅。作為一名旅人遊走在各鄉各處, Weerapong Chaipuck 用鏡頭記錄下了沿途的風土人情,有雲霧繚繞的群山,有佛塔遺蹟的日出美景,有盛放的油菜花田,還有山村老人不緊不慢燃起菸草的生活畫面,作品裡散發出來的氛圍不僅是賞心悅目,更蘊含著豐富景致與不同的人文深度。自然之美如人間仙境,虛幻神秘,美得太不真實,再配合上對雲彩、光影和色調的掌控,每一幅照片都極富層次感和視覺衝擊。至於人物照方面則顯示出了濃濃的電影感,讓人無視了窮鄉僻壤的落後簡陋,只看見攝影師鏡頭裡的懷舊與人文氣息。
