CameraEyes School: Our Journey & Philosophy

The Origin

CameraEyes was officially established on July 26, 2006, by two visionary photographic artists, Ajarn Somchai Suriyasathaporn and Ajarn Jittima Sa-ngeamsunthron. During that era, online webboards were flourishing as primary digital communities. Recognizing a distinct gap in the local landscape, they launched the website under the domain www.cameraeyes.net with a definitive purpose: to cultivate Thailand’s very first dedicated space for Fine Art Photography. It served as an interactive sanctuary and an enriched knowledge hub where passionate individuals could gather, converse, and exchange profound perspectives on photography as a pure art form.

Evolution into a Specialized Academy

Driven by the growing enthusiasm of its community members, the platform naturally expanded from a theoretical forum into a practical learning space. The founders began introducing structured training sessions and diverse specialized photography courses. Over the years, this continuous development gave rise to CameraEyes School—a unique photography academy designed entirely around the "Home School" concept.

Our Educational Philosophy

At CameraEyes School, we firmly believe that impactful artistic learning thrives in intimate environments. To ensure maximum efficiency and personalized development, our curriculum prioritizes:

  • One-on-One Long-Term Mentorship tailored specifically to individual artistic goals.
  • Exclusive Small-Group Workshops strictly limited to a maximum of 10 participants per class.

Celebrating 20 Years of Artistic Excellence (2006 – 2026)

In 2026, CameraEyes School proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary. For two decades, we have remained profoundly dedicated to our core belief: "Photographic art stems from human imagination and contemplation. To truly capture it, a photographer must possess structured technical skills, comprehensive understanding, and a genuine grasp of art." We look forward to continuing our mission of nurturing the eyes and minds of the next generations of fine art photographers.

  • จุดเริ่มต้นแห่งพื้นที่สร้างสรรค์

    CameraEyes ก่อตั้งขึ้นอย่างเป็นทางการเมื่อวันที่ 26 กรกฎาคม พ.ศ. 2549 โดย อ.สมชาย สุริยาสถาพร และ อ.จิตติมา เสงี่ยมสุนทร ในยุคที่คอมมูนิตี้ออนไลน์ในรูปแบบเว็บบอร์ดกำลังเฟื่องฟู ทั้งสองท่านได้ร่วมกันพัฒนาเว็บไซต์ www.cameraeyes.net ขึ้น เพื่อให้เป็นพื้นที่แลกเปลี่ยนมุมมอง และเป็นแหล่งข้อมูลความรู้สำหรับผู้ที่รักการถ่ายภาพในแนว ศิลปะบริสุทธิ์ (Fine Art Photography) ซึ่งถือเป็นเว็บไซต์เฉพาะทางด้านไฟน์อาร์ตแห่งแรกในประเทศไทย

  • จากคอมมูนิตี้... สู่โรงเรียนโฮมสคูล

    เพื่อต่อยอดความกระหายในการเรียนรู้ของสมาชิก จากเว็บบอร์ดสนทนาจึงพัฒนาสู่การจัดคอร์สฝึกอบรมอย่างเป็นระบบ และเติบโตจนกลายเป็น CameraEyes School โรงเรียนสอนศิลปะภาพถ่ายที่เน้นการเรียนการสอนแบบ Home School มีทั้งหลักสูตรระยะยาวแบบตัวต่อตัว และเวิร์กชอปกลุ่มเอ็กซ์คลูซีฟไม่เกิน 10 คน เพื่อให้ผู้เรียนทุกคนเข้าถึงแก่นแท้ของศิลปะอย่างมีประสิทธิภาพสูงสุด

  • ฉลองครบรอบ 20 ปี (2549 – 2569)

    ตลอดระยะเวลา 20 ปีที่ผ่านมา เราร่วมเดินทาง บ่มเพาะ และส่งต่อแรงบันดาลใจให้แก่ช่างภาพมากมาย และพร้อมจะก้าวต่อไปในฐานะพื้นที่สร้างสรรค์ผลงานภาพถ่ายร่วมสมัยระดับแถวหน้าของเมืองไทย
