Once a runaway child and orphan in South Korea, my life transformed at 8 1/2 when I was adopted into a loving, diverse family. This profound shift inspired my career as an editorial and documentary photographer, dedicated to exploring deep human interconnectedness and justice through visual storytelling.
My passion extends beyond capturing images; it is about uncovering the essence of those I photograph. Stories often reveal themselves in subtle ways, like in a quiet gaze or on the weathered hands of a person. I strive to see and listen with both my camera and my heart. I treasure the privilege of intimate access to people's lives and feel a deep responsibility to preserve their humanity with empathy, thoughtfulness, and dignity.
With extensive international and domestic experience, I excel in working independently and collaboratively to craft compelling narratives. I am introspective, intentional, and eager to listen deeply. I believe in the power of storytelling to bridge divides and illuminate the human experience.
I would love to hear about the stories you need to be told and am available for assignments worldwide.
