William Barrington-Binns

”Grace and Power of Motion“ Behind this series lies the deep fascination that William Barrington-Binns has with Khon, Thailand’s classical masked performance tradition. In this video, he reflects on the journey behind Grace and Power of Motion, a contemporary body of work that combines movement, light, layering, and performance to explore the energy and emotion held within Khon. For him, each gesture in Khon has meaning and the living history of Thai identity. Today, The Grace and Power of Motion is presented as part of the permanent exhibition at MOCA BANGKOK, becoming part of the museum’s ongoing history in bringing Thai contemporary art, cultural heritage, and the contemporary gaze into meaningful dialogue.

Grace and Power of Motion A short film exploring the process, discipline and layered movement behind this photographic series inspired by Khon performance tradition in Thailand. Created through multiple exposures and motion-based image construction rather than a single captured moment, the work reflects my continuing exploration of movement, ritual, memory and time through photography and mixed media practice. Grace and Power of Motion is now part of the permanent collection at MOCA Bangkok. #WilliamBarringtonBinns #MOCABangkok #Khon #FineArtPhotography #ContemporaryPhotography MixedMediaArt ThailandArt ArtistFilm GraceAndPowerOfMotion

15 years ago, behind the scenes on a body of work that was never fully released. An exploration of copper, latex, reflection and transformation — created together with couture designer Jonathan Harris. Looking back at these images now, I realise how much they still connect to my continuing interest in movement, surface, identity and constructed form through photography. What began as a couture collaboration has become part of a much larger conversation within my work. Revisiting the archive. Never seen before. Coming soon. @jonathanharrisdesigner Music: “Daft Punk” #WilliamBarringtonBinns #JonathanHarris #Couture #LatexArt #CopperArt FashionPhotography AvantGardeFashion EditorialPhotography BehindTheScenes UnseenArchive MixedMediaArt ContemporaryPhotography DarkFashion IndustrialFashion ConceptualPhotography FutureFashion ArtPhotography BlackAndWhitePhotography VisualCulture ReflectionAndTransformation

Start of the day. Before the first frame is made, the thinking begins. This is the part people don’t see — the planning, the pacing, the intent behind every image. At WBB & Co. we don’t just take photographs, we build visual narratives with purpose. From my own art practice through to international hotel and architectural work, lifestyle and commercial, everything starts here… quietly, with clarity. Creative content creation — not just a line, but the discipline behind the work. #WBBandCo #CreativeContentCreation #StartOfTheDay #VisualNarrative #ArchitecturalPhotography HotelPhotography BehindTheScenes CreativeDirection PhotographyLife IntentionalWork

Just landing into Singapore and this view never gets old. All those “little” dots in the water… not toys — full-scale cargo vessels sitting in one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. You really feel the intensity of global trade from up here — arguably even busier than the Strait of Hormuz — sitting right at the junction with the Strait of Malacca, where global trade flows past Singapore day and night. It never stops. @wbbandco @wbb_and_co @williambbinns — always looking. #wbbandco #singapore #straitofmalacca #straitofsingapore #aerialview travelphotography aviationphotography fromthewindowseat shippinglanes globaltrade maritimelife containerships architectureandtravel fineartphotography williambarringtonbinns arrivals southeastasia

Classical architecture, updated for today by @harthowerton . That was the vision for @stonehillthailand , a new private golf club in Pathum Thani, Thailand, and it guided every decision from the ground up. At its heart is an 18-hole championship course designed by @kylephillipsgcd , set within flowing landforms shaped to engage players of every level. The clubhouse, built from Veronese limestone and local teak, brings together Western classical aesthetics and Thai craftsmanship in a setting that feels both timeless and rooted in place. 🏌️‍♂️ 📸: @williambbinns #bangkok #bangkokthailand #bangkokrealestate #bangkoklife #propertyinfluencers

Went into a Zoom meeting… with @giftferk - @stonehillthailand - @harthowerton Came out to absolute silence — which, in hindsight, should have been the first warning. Found Ellie here, mid-masterpiece. Tissue everywhere. Blanket half demolished. Zero remorse. It’s always the quiet ones.

Tai Tai & Ellie. Amazing how close they’ve become over the past couple of months. A quiet moment at home. 🐾

Emergence New work — 31.03.26 Not everything arrives fully formed. Some things emerge — quietly, through light. A body becoming something beyond itself. Not defined, not fixed — just in the moment of appearing. — Emergence 2026 Archival pigment print on museum-grade stretched canvas Hand-finished and hand-varnished 150 × 150 cm Edition of 10 WBB

There’s a quiet shift that comes with time. You see differently. You feel differently. You create differently. WBB

Some conversations come at the right moment. “In Conversation with WBB” at Aman wasn’t about presenting work — it was about unpacking it. Understanding what sits beneath the surface, and why process matters as much as outcome. There’s a certain alignment in these spaces — where time, discipline, and intent are shared. As the work continues to evolve, and begins to move toward a permanent place within a museum context, these dialogues become even more important. They quietly shape what comes next.
