Nick Nostitz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nick Nostitz (born c. 1969) is the professional name of a German photographer who has lived and worked in Bangkok since 1993. Fluent in the Thai language, he specializes in the lower levels of the country's society seldom seen by casual visitors. Nostitz used black-and-white photographs to depict the both allure and sadness connected with the Thai sex industry in his 2001 book Patpong: Bangkok's Twilight Zone (ISBN 0-9537438-2-9). In 2004 he documented the violent war of then Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra against alleged drug dealers with a series of photographs. His work has appeared in several leading European magazines, such as Stern and Der Spiegel.
