Tul Hirunyalawan is a contemporary photography artist as he is acclaimed. He works as a special instructorin photography for many universities in Thailand. He also serves as President of the Royal Photographic Society of Thailand under the Royal Patronage of His Majesty the King, one of Leica Ambassador Thailand.

He values a camera as a timekeeper and a moment recorder to capture his minds, emotions and thoughts throughout 18 years of being a photography artist. The moment he is capturing photos, the artist naturally visualizes looking through a viewfinder. Although the surroundings are snapped from actual reality, another parallel world is created by his imagination, which penetrates into every single breath.

Tul is fascinated by the aesthetics of imperfection from what is missing or inordinate things around him to trace his own emotional layers deep down in his mind. He believes that there are numerous invisible spaces in each own world through the process of thinking through personal belief and faith. He believes that his world is artistic as it is, even if other people’s worlds are said to be more splendid.
