This photo was taken during a trip to Rayong province for my friend’s wedding. On the way back I stop by the sea and decided to take a walk along the beach. It was a strong wind that day and it will going to rain soon. The waves are crashing hard on the shore - loudly… roaring. I’m standing still… looking at the waves insanely crushing… in split second… like an interstellar burst into my mind… I can’t hear any surrounding sound anymore… I feel trapped on this planet… and then I realized… I can not CONTROL.

I find it very fun. 

Explain your photo and editing style

I love to photograph at any kind of pictures, there is no specific subject but the style I like are mostly dark, emotionally, melancholy, mystery… Something like that. I let my emotion decide how to frame a picture. there is no theory behind it at all. When I edit a photo, I always listen to the music that I like and try to match the mood/tone to that picture.

What are your favorite apps?

#1 Picsay Pro This is my primary image editing app. I love the beauty of this app. It gives high quality output and can adjusting as the way I wants, mostly. My editing are pretty simple, involve with bringing the brightness up/down, adjust temperature, decrease saturation, bring up/down contrast and a little bit soften the image. I normally don’t use presets/filter much.

#2 PicsPlay Pro I love to editing the colour curve with this app for the contrast of hightlight/shadow area, and this app also gives a high quality output.

#3 Pixlr Express Mostly I usually use this app to add some slightly scratch and light-leaks overlay to the image.
