Born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1984. I landed for the first time in Australia in 2008 and settled down in Melbourne in 2011. Here, I decided to make this long lasting dream come true by taking photos of people and life. Through the objective of the camera, I saw a great opportunity to express my feelings, emotions and my way to see the world without words. I always was fascinated by analog photography and I naturally went through the discovery of the developing and the printing process that brings endless surprises.
