CHIANG MAI PHOTOGRAPHY
by James de la Cloche


“I feel like an artist with my camera. I can see amazing moments occurring in front of me and I love to capture true emotion and love. I am best known for my photos and videos of people with rescue elephants. My photos come from the heart and the connection with my subjects is what makes my photos special. No matter who it is I’m photographing, I am able to bring out their best. I guess that is my gift!”

My husband and I are beyond thrilled to express our deepest gratitude for the breathtakingly beautiful photographs James @ DLC photo services captured during our recent trip to Chai Lai. From the moment we saw the stunning images, we were transported back to those precious moments of joy and love we experienced during our trip.  See on Google…

So happy to choose James to be our photography with the elephants. We felt so good and so comfortable and we can felt he loves what he is doing, choose him was the best experience because he has the knowledge about what is he doing and about how to work with animals (persons and elephants).
Pictures are amazing, natural and fun, nothing force, you will forget that the camera is there and you will have the best memories with his pictures.  See on Google…

Did pre-wedding with James. The whole experience was great – adventurous, interesting and unique. There were pictures with waterfall, elephant, temple, mountains and paddy fields. Much more than he promised. He really went extra miles (by car ;-) for great shots. We were especially impressed by his ideas with elephant shots. Such a highlight for our trip.  See on Google…

They empower at-risk girls to end trafficking in their communities & break the cycle of inter-generational poverty. Chai Lai Orchid exists to provide training and employment for these girls and funding for Daughters Rising. Thanks to everyone booking photoshoots with me, I am able to donate THB 15,000 each month!

Happy to meet people connected with themselves and the amazing nature! Yoga as a way of living is a spiritual discipline which brings harmony between mind and body. It is an art and science of healthy living.

Special wedding for a very special family. “We keep this love in a photograph, we made these memories for ourselves. Where our eyes are never closing, hearts are never broken
and time’s forever frozen still”
