Once Upon a Journey Lonely Planet Traveller Thailand Exhibition Opens Le Méridien Bangkok continued to show its appreciation of the contemporary arts with the opening of A New Perspective on Photography: Once Upon a Journey .

The exhibition showcases the photography of young talented Thai photographers, by providing a photo contest that aims to promote photography and encourage people to improve their photography skills, developing new angles of portraying a picture.

The contest this year is quite different from the past, as photos are submitted in a set, each linked with one another in a story that the photographer experienced along a journey.

The sets of photos submitted this year tell beautiful stories of people and places, captured by the photographers on their travels.

They represent different angles of cultures of various countries in an interesting way.

The photos are judged not only by photography skills and composition, but also by idea, concept and selection, which are also important skills for a good photographer.

Our honourable judges have to spend several hours looking through the submitted photos , said Rathsiam Sinlakhun, editor­in­chief of Lonely Planet Traveller Thailand Magazine.

Recent winner Wichianrat Changsawang, left, was on hand to share his experiences during the shooting of his portfolio Mingalaba Myanmar .
