End-to-End is a multimedia project that dives into the heart of Thai League 1 football. On April 19th, 2024, I documented the electrifying match between Port F.C. and Chiangrai United at PAT Stadium, Port F.C.'s historic home ground.

The project features a series of atmospheric photographs that capture the energy and emotion of the match from a unique perspective. End-to-End goes beyond still images, including an experimental long-take video that seeks to encapsulate the essence of the game as it unfolds. This video aims to immerse viewers in the dynamic flow of the match, transporting them directly into the passionate atmosphere of Thai League 1 football.

Given an access as a member of Port FC's staff team, I had the privilege of witnessing a heart-stopping match against Chiangrai United. The electric atmosphere crackled with passionate fans from both sides. The first half ended scoreless, but the tension only grew in the second.

Port FC struck first with a goal by Barros Tardeli in the 50th minute, erupting the home crowd. However, Chiangrai United wasn't finished. Harhys Stewart's incredible double in the 63rd and 68th minutes turned the tide, giving the visitors a dramatic comeback victory and sending the Port FC supporters home stunned.
