Schoolgirl Uniform series as part of the Uniform Culture Project : Year 2

Chanakarn (BuNiKa) 's works got published in the magazine. The first time she
walked + worked seriously with Street Photography. There 's also works on the Anti Coup
movement in Thailand (year 2007)
which considered more passionate and insightful - better works
of her street documents. However, the series goes unpublished for many reasons.

working for Schoolgirl Uniform series Uniform Culture Project : Year 2,
Chanakarn BuNiKa Chatakul chose a style of portrait / snap shots instead of traditional street style,
for that she understood viewers of the subject - which need to see things clearly in focus with much
details. Therefore, she believed that in this case , ambiguity would not work. And she was right in
this case. Comparing to the Anti Coup movement in Thailand (year 2007) and The
RED Movement (2008 / 09)
recording political - street movements in larger scale which gave
more freedom in working style, she can easily adjust herself to different situation and objectives.
