The Story
It all started with taking silly photos of my friends in school.
I brought my dad's Sony digital camera to the classroom when I was in middle school to take funny staged photos with my friends, and I found myself enjoying not only the results itself but also the fun process of capturing those moments, and being able to remember them even years later. This sparked a passion for photography that has stayed with me ever since.
감사합니다 아빠.
In high school, I took a small photography elective class that taught me how to operate a fully-manual film camera, and the whimsical art of playing with lights to create stunning images. My father, supportive of my pursue for (any type of) art at the time, noticed my interest in photography and gifted me a Nikon DSLR camera for Christmas. This has allowed me to keep photography as my passion to express myself and collaborate with like-minded creative individuals, like YOU!
Freak around --
I started volunteering at events to photograph their key presentations or music performances, and throughout the process I met so many amazing talented people; hearing about your passion and talent fuels me to learn & grow, so I want to meet everyone!

If you may have noticed, I love experimenting with lights and gadgets to help us see things from a different perspective. If you have any kind of wild crazy idea, whether it is waking up at 4am for a sunrise photo, or driving through the snowstorm in the winter for snow photos, I am the person to talk to.
