Ken Thongpila is an Australian-Thai, living and working in Sydney. He is an award-winning photographer featured in diving magazines and websites.
Ken has been scuba diving and taking photographs underwater as his hobby since 2003. His passion is macro photography and his favourite critter is the nudibranch.
In September 2011 he created the Underwater Macro Photographers (UWMP) Facebook Group whichquickly became popular with the underwater photography community and has more than 42,000 members from all over the world. The aim of the group is "sharing, learning and inspiring each other" and to organise members to meet each other once a year.
In 2018 Ken achieved the highest level 6 Examiner Master Trainer from Diving Instructor World Association(DIWA). He trained the photographers who wanted to become trainers from Australia and Thailand.
Along with managing the Facebook group, Ken is also a Photo Journalist for Underwater Magazines and a Speaker on Underwater photography for diving expos. His passion for teaching and knowledge about underwater photography equipment lead him to open his own Underwater Camera Shop in Sydney called "Macro Mode". He is able to use his experience from the past 18 years to help customers get the right equipment to use for their own underwater photography journey.
From the early start of the Weefine company, Ken was able to help in testing some products, suggest ideas and give feedback to help improve many Weefine products. He is also able to teach and influence Weefine product users on how to improve their photography by posting his photos on Facebook and Instagam sharing tips and techniques.
Please check out his profile photos, all his photos were using at least 1 or more Weefine products to get the shot.
