Ken Thongudomporn

A Singapore-based photographer who picked up photography after getting annoyed that t-shirts he bought from Topman tended to eventually be owned by almost everyone else as well. He hence had the rather silly idea of making t-shirts that no one else had, by taking his own photos and printing them onto the t-shirts. While he never really got around to it, friends took notice of his photography and one day, a friend asked him to photograph his rock band at a performance. The band liked Ken's photos so much that Ken eventually became the band's main photographer, and as the band rose in reputation, so did Ken. Soon other bands were asking Ken to photograph them as well, and Ken eventually became a rather commonly-seen gig photographer, affectionately called the 'Photogromosher' because he never really bothered to put his camera down before jumping into mosh pits. "I paid extra money for a tough camera, might as well test it out!" - Ken
