Jatenipat Ketpradit: Can a Portrait Preserve a Culture

Cultural Identity, Storytelling, and Adventure—this week on The Camera Café Show, we sit down with multi award-winning photographer Jatenipat Ketpradit from Thailand, whose portraits of remote indigenous tribes capture more than faces—they tell the stories of entire cultures.

From Mongolia’s Eagle Hunters to Papua New Guinea’s ghostly Asaro Mudmen, Jatenipat’s immersive approach takes him deep into communities, where he spends weeks earning trust before even picking up his camera. We talk about why cultural photography matters, how he prepares for months before a shoot, and what it takes to document traditions on the brink of disappearing.

If you love travel, portrait photography, and stories that go beyond the frame, this episode is for you.
