ABOUT MANUT
Fine Art and Brand Photographer
Photography has always been my passion — a powerful form of storytelling that captures emotions, moments, and memories. My journey began when I was 11 years old, thanks to my KunTa (grandfather in Thai), who gifted me my first film SLR camera. That gift sparked a lifelong love for capturing life’s fleeting moments.
Pursuing my passion for the arts, I moved to the United States and earned a certificate from the Design Communication Arts Program at UCLA, where I refined my skills in design, visual arts, and photography under the mentorship of top industry professionals. My experiences in Los Angeles — the culture, the people, the creative energy — made me realize this vibrant city was the perfect home for my artistic dreams. Looking to craft a visual story that feels true to you? Let’s bring it to life.
After graduation, I built my portfolio photographing jewelry, food, portraits, and nightclub events. However, it was illustrative portraiture that truly captured my heart — showcasing genuine personalities and emotional depth through my lens.
Driven by a desire to create a meaningful impact, I pursued my Master of Fine Arts in Photography at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco. For my thesis, I combined my passion for photography and advocacy by shedding light on urgent issues facing the LGBTQ+ community, including homelessness, fear, and poverty.
My professional journey led me to an exciting role as an in-house brand photographer for Cuyana, a thoughtful fashion brand. I captured products, portraits, industrial settings, fashion events, and artisan stories — experiences that strengthened my cinematic storytelling style and deepened my commitment to authentic brand photography.
I specialize in authentic brand storytelling, fine art portraiture, and lifestyle photography. Before picking up my camera, I dive deep into your "why" — exploring your passion, your process, and your vision. Your story deserves to be seen and felt, and it’s my honor to translate it into timeless images that connect with your audience.
Let’s create photography that captures the heart of your brand and the soul of your story.
