Once a runaway and orphan in the quiet corners of South Korea, my life shifted irrevocably at the age of eight and a half, when I was welcomed into the arms of a loving and beautifully diverse family. This profound transformation sparked a lifelong calling: to unravel the threads of human interconnectedness and justice through the lens of my camera.
As an editorial and documentary photographer, my work extends beyond capturing moments—it is an intimate pursuit of essence. Stories often linger in the quiet, in the glint of an eye or the lines etched into weathered hands. With each frame, I strive to listen as much as I see, using both my heart and my lens to honor the truths entrusted to me. The privilege of entering lives so closely demands a careful stewardship of their humanity—something I approach with empathy, dignity, and thoughtfulness.
Years of traversing borders, both physical and cultural, have honed my ability to craft compelling narratives, whether working independently or as part of a team. Introspective and intentional, I am drawn to listen deeply, believing firmly in the power of storytelling to bridge divides and illuminate what it means to be human.
I would be honored to hear the stories you need brought to life and am ready to embark on assignments anywhere your vision calls.
