I’m Tulika Kim, a Bangkok and Washington, D.C.-based photographer with a keen eye for the interplay between light and shadow. My signature style captures the unique essence of each subject, turning the abstract into the tangible and bringing a fresh perspective to everyday moments.

About Tulika Kim

HP5: Lemon No. 1 Two days since the #ilfordhp5 Dev. These lemons submerged in water... there’s a certain texture to the skin and the light that feels so fresh. It’s funny how you don’t need the color to feel the sting of the fruit. It’s all in the grain. @TULIKA.kim | #TULIKAkim Shot with: Minolta SRT 101 + 55mm lens. Developed with: Our good friends over at @whatthefilm

Throwing it back to this 2025 session with @oxy.gen_entertainment for @nono_is_asong’s music campaign! Such an incredible project to be a part of.

Turn over a new leaf (กลับตัวกลับใจ) Here’s an empty vitamin bottle, standing upright in a glass of water. There’s nothing inside it, and yet—it doesn’t tip over. When I made this, I was thinking about starting over. Even if we feel used up or empty, maybe there’s still a way to stay steady, to find balance. The water around it is calm. The reflection is clear. Even in the dark, there’s peace. This piece is a quiet reminder that we can begin again—even when we think we’ve run out.

Proof that work doesn't have to feel like work. Last month’s portrait session with Julia @_.jubu._ was a total blast. Not only is she a joy to work with, but her art is also incredible. So grateful for the opportunity! Photographer : #TULIKAkim
