Part 1: Beginning of My Journey
Everything started from an interesting observation I made when I was very young that I can't remember exactly when: my father always brought two gigantic cameras wherever our family went. It naturally stimulated a kid's curiosity and it was preserved until I bought my first camera at 2019. This section contains my old photographs, from 2019 to 2023, which formed my photographic identity.
Part 2: Korean Minjok Leadership Academy
'Jjik-sae'(찍새) is a Korean word belittling cameraman. From the very first time I entered KMLA, camera was my partner and we accompanied everyday, achieving several accomplishments: getting accepted into the photography club, doing all favors from friends and teachers, and several honors. After a moment, everybody called me 'Jjik-sae', but I didn't deny it; it's my identity.
Part 3: Street Photography
Street photography is a renowned genre of photography, and it have been developed for almost a century by several photographers such as Henri-Cartier Bresson and Robert Frank. Since they came up with sensational methods: decisive moment, anti-formalism, reinterpretation of light, I am also finding my new method to depict street as a documentary-like perspective with grid.
Part 4: Journalism
This section contains not only journalism photos depicting the issued place, but also photographs with a specific message. For example, as I said at <My Eventual Objective> session, my favorite theme is intimacy and it can reunite our fragmented society. Journalism combined with fine art photography maximizes the message.
Part 5: Beautiful Sceneries
Having camera with me everyday gave me some presents: opportunity to preserve the best sceneries I've observed. Or I even go to an adventure alone to find some stunning ones. Based on my personal experience, finding those kind of sceneries makes me feel alive, which is similar to attempting extreme sports.
