Photographer Bio
I travel the world with my job and was fortunate enough to arrive in South Korea on Geoje island, just at the start of a huge drive to make this small island more popular in 2007. I spent the next ten years taking photographs all over Korea in coastal regions mainly and have amassed a huge selection of Korean scenes.
Submission Information
I explored many small farming villages, farming towns and people’s homes to find people who don’t want to change. At the speed that society has been changing, I want to try and record that calm that Korea possess. There is little left of the old Korea now. High rise apartments are taking over the landscape.
