SCOTT KRISTIAN KELLEHER, TRANSGENDER BAR TENDER (PEOPLE 2024)
Four faces of Thailand, four walks of life. These are just some of the random portraits that I made on my recent exploration of Thailand and the people. I visited slums, temples, wet markets, ruins, streets, subways, villages by foot, motorcycle, train, bus, and tuktuk. The only person I got to know here is Kwan whom was my Muay Thai coach in Kanchanaburi. Staying away mostly the party scene and beaches, I followed my nose, learning the public transport system and ended up well off the tourist trail. My trip was a great study of people and so much more than I expected. I wish I could submit more. The title represents my first model, Lucky, whom asked me to take her photo when I visited the bar she worked at.
