When I found out there was going to be a FEEL PHANGAN festival, there was only one thing I could do - grab my camera and capture everything around me.

It was clearly going to bring together some of the coolest, most interesting, creative, and stylish people on the island. So much beauty and creativity, brought to life by both Thai and international artists - something you’d hardly find anywhere else.

A beautiful spirit of community and collaboration, all in the name of art, kindness, and love.

Wishing this project all the success it deserves. See you again soon. 🤍

Big thanks to all the organisers 🙏🏻

If I photographed you and you’d like to see more shots, feel free to DM me.

MESTO IS COMING TO FEEL PHANGAN

Join us on August 8–9 at Thong Sala Pier for a festival celebrating the spirit of Koh Phangan: its people, culture, art, music, nature, and the unique energy that brings people from all walks of life together.

We’re creating our own little MESTO at the festival:
— A photo zone to capture the moment
— A chill zone to relax, connect, and spend time together
— A market featuring art and unique products created by artists from our community

The festival brings together the island’s traditional and contemporary culture, performances by Thai and international artists, local brands, creative workshops, wellness projects, and diverse food.
A special part of the programme is Thai Sahakij: Memories of Phangan, an exhibition of archival island photography presented aboard the Royal Thai Navy ship HTMS Koh Phangan 713.
Captured by Koh Phangan’s first photographer, these film photographs tell the story of the island, its people, and the changes it has experienced over the decades.

Feel Phangan is an opportunity to discover Koh Phangan beyond the image most people know — through its stories, traditions, creativity, and community.
Come meet us, relax, take photos, and support local artists.

Алматы. Рассвет.
3 часа ночи на сборах.
Тишина пустых улиц и ощущение, будто мы снимаем кадры для старого фильма…

Для этой фотосессии моя клиентка нашла платье своей бабушки — настоящее винтажное сокровище из 50-х.
А дальше случилась магия: макияж, утренний свет и атмосфера времени, которое невозможно повторить.

Обожаю такие истории.
Когда образ — это не просто «красиво», а про настроение, воспоминания и чувства

This Friday is a very special celebration, the 60th birthday of someone dear to me, and to many of you who have been part of this community for years (Phangan Island).

She has created a space that has held so much magic and creativity, and now it’s time to celebrate her in style.

The party is invited guests only… but you can be my plus one. Auditions start today 🥳 send me a DM and tell me why I should pick you to be my date. 😉

And this stunning dress? It’s from @_merma1ds_treasure_ ✨ They have the most amazing pieces! I slipped this one on and instantly found my look.
