Beyond producing visually captivating photos employing an array of techniques, Chaiyasith also places significant emphasis on addressing customer concerns.
Whether it’s the dynamics of a couple, the essence of a brand, or an advertising message, he cleverly transforms these aspects into creative works, meticulously capturing every detail within the photograph. This distinctive approach goes beyond mere visual storytelling; it generates emotions within viewers, invoking feelings through the incorporation of details.

“My role goes beyond mere photography; it involves effectively conveying brand strategy. This entails encapsulating the brand’s ethos, identity, and narrative within the photographs.

Employing the same guiding principle as with other photography genres, namely the ‘Emotional in Details’ approach, these corporate portraits are meticulously crafted to deliver something distinctive and remarkable, and effectively communicate the intended messages of brands and clients in alignment with their objectives.
He added, “What sets my photography apart is the ‘Emotional in Details’ approach. It’s a way of storytelling that blends details, themes, and messages that need to be communicated. This method aims to create lasting memories and stir emotions. By capturing the essence of people, organizations, and brands, this technique tells captivating stories through engaging visuals.
This is made even stronger by a deep understanding of marketing and branding, along with using the ‘Emotional in Details’ method across all types of photography. This combination helps the images to build a clear corporate brand identity. It makes a difference in terms of corporate image; emotional depth in the photos leaves a strong impact, connecting with the target audience and effectively conveying the messages customers want to get across.”
