At the forum I frequent, http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/, there is an amazing photographer by the name Lars Johnsson. He travels to Thailand and South-east Asia very much, and he has an incredible portfolio. He specializes in shooting in people as well as architecture, and is a master when it comes to black and white. I highly recommend you guys to check it out:
