Specialty: Portrait
Commercial, portrait and fine art photographer based in Seattle. Born in Seoul, S. Korea and raised in the Pacific Northwest, my perspective has been shaped by a unique blend of cultural influences and personal experiences.
After 12 years working in the advertising industry, I left to travel the world with a humble point-and-shoot camera. Starved for connection but unable to speak the diverse languages of the countries I travelled, I achieved a sense of belonging by sharing experiences through the lens. My approach remains rooted in connection, curiosity, and compassion. I strive to uplift people's spirit by making them feel seen and valued through my images.
The following short film was made for the Wing Luke Museum’s Oral History Archive project, and tells the story of our immigration to Seattle, the hardships we overcame, and my first and most important artistic influence, my Mom. https://youtu.be/LFlHLTe6NFI
