Bryce Watanasoponwong is a Thai-Australian photographer with a passion for combining street photography and abstract art to create compositions with layered textures. He has been greatly influenced and inspired by the works of artists such as Pablo Picasso, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock and many more.
Incorporating a range of different mediums helped him gain a new and expanded perspective on his photography and the world in general. The process of truth and self discovery is imperative to his identity as an artist.
“Street photography allows me to take notice of the usually disregarded surroundings we pass daily. Upon closer inspection there are stories to be discovered.“

“
When I go out on the street with my camera, I appreciate
meeting new people from different cultures. I enjoy the raw reality of
everyday life, the fleeting beauty, the quirkiness and the humour
of those in-between moments, and I do my best to capture every scene with an open mind.
While being on the street, I especially look for elements of the
abstract. Colours, natural light, shapes, and textures are elements
that I find the most fascinating. It is through this process of discovery that
I identify the subject matter and the abstract qualities I wish to emphasise.
