THE ELEGANCE OF SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH

This work is inspired by betta fish itself because I had captured tons of their movements so I have no idea how the next photo will look like after that I review whole photos and release my imagination to create this work until I think it’s done and this is experiential work that I have continued working since 2015.

"The power of myself"

In 2014, I tried to capture a picture of fighting fish but it didn't work. In early 2015 I started the fish project again to capture the beauty of single moments of my pets, since then it has become the series called

'THE ELEGANCE OF SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH'.

This work is motivated by my personal interest in Thai betta fish, which was my childhood pet and a symbol from Southeast Asia. Nowadays, betta fish breeding development has reached high levels of color variations and physical appearance. I would like to emphasize the beauty, by selecting specific colors and shapes of exceptional fish to fully express nature's creation through the lights, shade, and techniques of photography.

Every fish has its own unique movement. I set up the light on the crystal-clear fish tank and use a clear water. Then, I am just patient for a perfect moment.
