A Journey in Color and Culture

As the center of opportunity shifts to ASEAN, an economic powerhouse that's on track to become the world's fourth-largest economy by 2030, one photographer has seen the region transform before his eyes.

Meet Athikhom Saengchai, a Thai photographer who's been capturing Southeast Asia's vibrant colors, characters and cultures for more than 12 years. In Bloomberg Media Studios’ latest collaboration with Bangkok Bank, Athikhom brings a fresh lens to the region he draws inspiration from, time after time.

"ASEAN is a remarkable blend of tradition and modernity, brimming with talent and determination. Traveling the region as a photographer has taught me to look beyond the bustle and find a connection with people and places, in search of their underlying beauty and stories," notes Athikhom.

"Like surprising moments in photography, many opportunities are in store just beneath the surface in ASEAN, a region of incredible diversity and energy. You'll find them when you look closer, and feel immediately connected with the warmth, optimism and can-do spirit of the locals."
