Many people know him as Kru Gun, a teacher of black and white photography who mastered the Zone System of the great Ansel Adams. Grand black-and-white landscapes are signatures of Ansel Adams, and close-up landscapes filled with detail and gray tones represent John Sexton. For Gun, it would probably be a picture of Thailand with a gray tone weight that is comfortable to the eyes. As he says: you can watch it for a long time without getting bored.

After experiencing the atmosphere of photography in Thailand for some time, in 2000, Gun decided to open a dedicated black-and-white photography school. At that time, there were not many schools of this type. It attracted much attention from photographers and photography students.

Gun is now an acclaimed, respected and admired photographer and teacher, both in Thailand and abroad.
