If paintings or sculptures are too abstract for you to get the whole gist of each one, a photo exhibition can be a way to familiarize yourself with art. This weekend is a good start to do this, for Bangkok has a whole lot of art galleries welcoming guests to see their collection of cool artworks—and here's a handful of the ones that focus on the art of capturing moments with cameras. Apart from getting to see all the beautiful and thought-provoking pictures, you may also learn a thing or two about how to take a photo from these talented artists.
You can also check out all 22 art shows opening through out this month here.
