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.

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
