Adam Birkan สุขุมวิท - The Third Road

Adam Birkan’s newly completed personal project and already sold-out book, สุขุมวิท - The Third Road, is a series of images captured along the road Sukhumvit, a major transit route spanning 14 kilometers within the boundaries of Bangkok. The Third Road serves as a physical but liminal embodiment of the human experience in Thailand, highlighting a conflicting evolution through struggle and prosperity, industry and history, and time and culture. Together, these opposing forces create a living tapestry of a place and its people.

Adam Birkan New Work: Portraits

Adam Birkan shot recent portraits of friends and strangers on the streets of Bangkok, Thailand on expired 35mm and 120mm film, like Kodak Gold 200 & E100. The portraits emulate Adam’s innate street photography sensibility and composition-style as he highlights both the subject and the unique environment they’re a part of. 

Adam is the creator of the Bangkok Photo Walk, a free monthly photography group that encourages photographers with all levels of experience to build connections in Thailand and to further develop their skills in the medium of photography.

Adam Birkan Monocle

Adam Birkan photographed book cover designer Manita Songserm for the new issue of Monocle magazine, out now. The article “Judging a book by its cover,” explores how the balance of language, narrative, typography, color and graphics can shape a reader’s opinion of a story. As Songserm explained, “I play with people’s curiosity. The cover might be the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle to understand the whole book.” Birkan photographed Songserm at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre with some of her recent collaborations, including David Eagleman’s book Sum.

Adam Birkan Bloomberg Businessweek

Bloomberg Businessweek sent Adam Birkan to photograph Thailand’s new tourism trend: rehab travel. Birkan journeyed to Chiang Mai to visit two different centers and capture the unique take on luxury rehabilitation.  The photographs show the picturesque pools, palm trees, and resort-like facilities. Lanna Rehab and The Cabin are two locations that are both dedicated to international clients looking to pay less for treatment than they would in their own countries, making it an increasingly popular phenomenon.

Adam Birkan for Seeker x Retriever 

Adam Birkan photographed the fifth Seeker x Retriever collection titled, “The Outsiders.” Based in Sydney, Australia, Seeker x Retriever is a gender-neutral clothing brand with their fabrics crafted in Northern Thailand by artisanal fabric makers and craftspeople. The textiles are dyed in hot spring water of Chae Son National Park in the Lampang Province of Thailand. Nan Tohch, the creative director, places importance on a minimal, androgynous aesthetic and ethical, sustainable production, which is wonderfully reflected in Adam Birkan’s imagery for their collection. His images highlight the hand dyed fabrics with a minimal, clean approach. To see Seeker x Retriever’s new collection shot by Adam click here and more of Adam Birkan’s fashion photography, click here.
