    paper TVC for Starfish Education

    n this cross-border commercial project for Starfish Education, I served as both the Director and Director of Photography to announce the brand’s strategic expansion into the Thai market via their new online program. This production was a remarkable exercise in multinational collaboration; while the commercial was filmed on location in Thailand featuring local Thai talent, I spearheaded the comprehensive pre-production and post-production phases from Myanmar. Managing a diverse, international crew required a high level of creative leadership and technical precision to ensure the visual storytelling resonated across both Myanmar and Thailand. The resulting TVC successfully bridged cultural nuances to create a unified, premium brand message that was broadcast in both countries, marking a significant milestone in the client’s regional growth.

    paper Bridal House reel Feat. Miss Cosmo 2025

    In this collaboration with the prestigious Vivian Warso Couture, I served as the Director of Photography and Video Editor for a high-end fashion reel featuring Miss Cosmo Myanmar 2025. My primary objective was to translate the intricate craftsmanship and visual elegance of the designer’s bridal couture into a compelling cinematic experience. As the DOP, I focused on lighting and compositions that accentuated the delicate textures and structural artistry of the dresses, ensuring that every detail was showcased with a premium, aspirational feel. In the edit, I prioritized the creation of high-impact, short-form content specifically engineered to capture consumer attention and drive desire for the brand’s bespoke products and services.

    paper Fashion Reel (Hell & Heaven feat. Miss Universe Myanmar)

    In this high-concept fashion reel featuring Miss Universe Myanmar 2024, I served as both the Director of Photography and Video Editor, tasked with bringing the dualistic theme of “Hell & Heaven” to life. My primary focus was to translate a dramatic visual metamorphosis, utilizing high-contrast lighting and sharp, moody angles to define the “Hell” sequence before transitioning into the soft, ethereal, and fluid cinematography of “Heaven.” As the DOP, I meticulously captured the intricate details and structural integrity of the couture, ensuring the dress’s most important elements were highlighted through purposeful composition. In post-production, I leveraged rhythmic editing and strategic color grading to bridge these two worlds, creating a seamless transformation that showcased the talent’s versatility and the garment’s narrative power.

    paper Testimonials

    As a professional trained in the high-impact genre of consumer testimonials, I directed many projects with a focus on translating brand goals into relatable, human-centric visual stories. Recognizing that authentic testimonials remain one of the most powerful marketing strategies to build trust, I managed a production team of 12 through a rigorous process of pre-production, filming, and post-production.

    My approach goes beyond simple interviews; I strategically map out the target market’s pain points and design the production to visualize solutions through the eyes of real users. By bridging the gap between client objectives and consumer needs, I delivered a series of short-form films that don’t just showcase a product, but create an emotional and psychological connection that drives action.

    paper Dear Mom

    For the Starfish Education Mother’s Day campaign, I served as the Director, leading a production team of 12 to create a cinematic short film commercial tailored for the parent market. I spearheaded the entire creative lifecycle, from the initial pre-production phase—where I developed the conceptual narrative and script—to the hands-on management of the production set and talent. Throughout post-production, I supervised the editing and final grading to ensure the film delivered a high-end, emotional resonance that aligned perfectly with the brand’s goals for the holiday season.

    paper Cinematic Travel Archives

    My primary creative project is a self-directed YouTube travel channel where I produce cinematic “moving frames” that serve as a living legacy for my children, allowing them to one day see their parents’ journey and shared memories through a high-end visual lens. By maintaining complete creative autonomy over the filming and editing process, I have developed a signature aesthetic that prioritizes storytelling and atmospheric detail without external restrictions. Beyond its personal meaning, the channel provides strategic value to viewers by scouting and showcasing hidden photospots and unique locations, proving my ability to identify the “visual soul” of a space—a skill that translates directly to capturing the unique charm of Tokyo’s boutiques, cafés, and local businesses.

    paper Shibuya Streets

    The project serves as a cinematic study of motion and stillness. By utilizing high-angle perspectives, the images transform the world’s busiest intersection into a living canvas of patterns—where the stark white lines of the crosswalks act as a stage for thousands of individual stories.

    From the rhythmic flow of commuters to the singular presence of a vintage car cutting through the monochrome pavement, these photos capture the unique “pulse” of Tokyo. The color grading leans into a nostalgic, cinematic palette, reflecting the “Natsukashii” (warm nostalgia) and “Shunkan” (instant) philosophies—capturing moments that are at once timeless and gone in a heartbeat.
