Noah Dolinsky is a Bangkok-based photographer and filmmaker whose work explores identity, longing, emotional presence, and lives lived at the edges of visibility.
Based in Thailand since 2014, Dolinsky’s visual language grew out of Bangkok’s street life, urban textures, intimate interiors, and fleeting encounters. His background in portrait and documentary photography informs his filmmaking, bringing a cinematic, human-centered approach to stories of desire, vulnerability, resilience, and connection.
His long-term portrait work has been recognized through three shortlist selections for 1854 Media’s Portrait of Humanity award, with publication in the annual photobook by Hoxton Mini Press. His editorial portraits have appeared in magazines in Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United States, including a 2024 cover story for Forbes Asia, and his prints are held in private collections worldwide.
As a filmmaker, Dolinsky has directed a trilogy of LGBTQ+-themed short films: My Name is Bella (2021), Fallen Angel (2022), and Save the Last Dance for Me (2023). The films have won awards and screened at festivals across Europe, Asia, and beyond.
His first photobook, FALLEN ANGELS, brings together more than ten years of portraits of Thai transgender women in Bangkok. The title is not meant as judgment, but as a poetic reflection on beauty, fragility, resilience, and lives often misunderstood by society.
