Hello, I'm Jin Hyoung from South Korea.
I have been living in Japan for the past decade. Photography and design are my ways to express myself creatively. I love to get lost in the world of photography when I‘m not working. It’s all about crafting experiences that leave a lasting impression.
My Story with Photography
A Silver Digital Camera as a Catalyst:
My photographic journey began in my childhood when my uncle gifted me a silver digital camera. This small device fit perfectly in my palm and became a lens through which I started to see the world in a new light. At first, I captured blurry and shaky images, but I was captivated by the ability to freeze moments in time forever.
Expanding Horizons through World Travel:
From a young age, I embarked on numerous voyages with my family, exploring diverse cultures and landscapes across the globe. The photographs I took of each country‘s unique heritage held a significance beyond mere documentation. They ignited my curiosity and fueled my desire to venture further into the world. Wandering through unfamiliar streets and capturing the scenery through my lens enriched my imagination and broadened my understanding of the world’s diversity.
Photography Beyond Capturing Reality:
Photography transcends simply capturing reality it serves as a powerful tool for time travel, preserving moments eternally, and conveying stories. The expressions and surroundings of the subjects in photographs whisper tales of their experiences. Like a magician, the photographer manipulates light and shadow to evoke emotions, stimulate thoughts, and foster empathy among viewers.
The Essence of a Good Photograph:
For me, a compelling photograph goes beyond capturing beautiful landscapes or people. It evokes emotions, communicates a narrative, and captivates the hearts of those who behold it. Photography expands my perspective on the world, presents fresh viewpoints, and awakens me to life‘s beauty. My journey through the lens will continue, and I will use photography to connect with the world and share my unique stories.
Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I hope my images inspire you to see the world in a new light.
