한국인 독자 여러분! 쉬운 영어로 한번 할까요?

공부할 시간이 됐구만~!ㅋㅋ

There’s really nothing special about shots like these. I just like them because they’re candid and unique.

What is it about street photography that attracts me as an photographer?

First, there are so many beautiful moments in everyday life that I want to keep.

For example – I love that torn-bottom, white mini-skirt on the “model” up there. And the car lights add a nice, urban feeling to the picture. It’s a cool moment, with a beautiful girl passing in front of a car’s headlights on one of the last days of summer.

In life, there are funny situations, interesting moments, and also beautiful people. I photograph them all, because sometimes they are memories I want to keep. And the brain is inefficient – those memories fade with time.

Second, in Seoul, ideas of fashion and beauty are not just mainly for stars and people on TV (like in America), but even average people believe they have to look their best, all the time – even to the neighborhood supermarket. And women especially, put a lot of time and energy into their “presentation.”

And Korean women, among all the countries in the world (perhaps with the exception of Italy and Russia), put sooooo much effort into their appearance.

It’s like a fashion show out there.

So I’m a fashion photographer now. ㅋㅋ

I’ve never seen anything like the streets of Seoul.

To me, the beautiful moments in life and the beautiful “models” on the street are sometimes the same thing. So I want to record those moments with my camera.

And for my readers, I want to re-present some of these moments to you.

Thanks for coming!
