Available to hire
I’m Ken Panlit, a freelance videographer/photographer with a deep passion for visual storytelling and cinema. I love lighting, crafting compelling visuals, and bringing brands to life through film and photography. My work has taken me around the world—from Cannes and Kyoto to Tokyo, Bali, and Shanghai—collaborating with prestigious publications and brands like Harper’s Bazaar Thailand, Esquire Thailand, and Elle Thailand.
I manage end-to-end production—from storyboard to shoot and editing—adapting to budgets and deadlines while staying true to a brand’s heritage. I communicate closely with production teams to meet goals, and I bring on-set discipline to ensure consistent lighting, on-camera performance, and smooth post-production, including color grading with DaVinci Resolve.

For the Saint Laurent F/W '26 film, my primary goal was to translate the collection’s sharp confidence into a compelling narrative world. I served as the lead visual director, driving the look with a clear, high-concept approach.
I designed a lighting scheme that maximizes dramatic contrast and atmosphere, flooding the space with deep red and gold tones while utilizing focused spotlights—a technique directly inspired by the dark, intimate bar scenes of Wong Kar-Wai.
I applied a specialized vintage film grade in post-production to ensure the textures of the leather and the richness of the interiors were palpable, successfully delivering a sophisticated and impactful fashion film that feels both timeless and mysterious.
