About
I am a photographer and editorial designer from South Korea, living and working in Bremen, Germany.
Photography and publication design are currently the center of my artistic practice. Bright light, natural color and fine texture are combined in my style of photography. Professionally, I operate in the EVENT, EDITORIAL and ADVERTISING market between REPORTAGE, LANDSCAPE and PORTRAIT. Even, designing for BROCHURE, POSTER and CATALOG.
Free works of mine mostly started from feelings of belonging or separation caused by personal journey. Like other young people, I moved away from my hometown and still travel around. So the question should be about social identity: What role should I play in the society I am in?
