I’m a golf enthusiast, love putting garlic in all my food, and sing Korean ballads when I am by myself

During my sophomore year of college, I scraped together the profits from my RobinHood trading account, and bought myself my first camera and kit lens.

Shooting on that one crappy kit lens, I had to sneak up on wildlife, wade through rivers, climb buildings, and create makeshift tripods out of trashcans.

Throughout my adventures, I’ve been washed out by rogue waves, wrestled an elephant for control over my camera, and even been chased by a herd of cows.

Just to get that one, perfect shot.

And that’s why I fell in love with photography.

 


Even though photography is my creative outlet, it is also a social adventure for me. Through photography, I’ve met my best friends, gained access to events I would never have imagined myself going to, and met people worlds outside of my usual social circle.

Photography has enriched my life with so many relationships, skills, and memories, and I love creating and sharing those experiences with other humans!
