photographer based in Seoul, South Korea.


Since 2019, I’ve been capturing unforgettable moments for travelers, couples, and influencers from all around the world. Whether it’s a wedding photoshoot, a Korean pre-wedding session, or a Seoul travel photography experience, my goal is to help every client feel comfortable, confident, and natural in front of the camera — even if posing feels unfamiliar.


I believe photography is not just about taking pictures, but about telling your story through beautiful, timeless images. Let’s create warm memories together in the heart of Seoul that you’ll cherish forever.

Seoul is cold and very dry, and unless it snows, it can feel especially harsh. (The wind chill often makes it feel even colder.)


That’s why I planned a more efficient session for the cold winter season. I usually offer a 1-hour shoot as the standard, but I created a shorter option where we shoot for 40 minutes at one spot, then move to a second location for another 40 minutes.


Since most people visiting Seoul already have a busy itinerary with two or three places to see in a day, this style is ideal for anyone who wants great photos without committing to a long shoot in freezing weather.

The first location was Gyeongbokgung Palace for a hanbok photoshoot. If it’s your first time in Korea—or even just your first time in Seoul—this is a place that absolutely everyone should visit at least once.

The palace’s grandeur—its design and intricate details—is more than enough to impress not only tourists, but locals as well. That said, it can get extremely crowded, so sometimes I guide clients to a different palace instead.

Throughout the shoot, Dia and Rizard couldn’t stop laughing. They said romantic poses felt a bit awkward, so they kept cracking up—but when I asked for playful, cheeky poses, they actually enjoyed it even more and had a lot of fun.

Since we started the shoot about an hour before Gyeongbokgung closed, there weren’t many people around. And even when there were a few, they were easy to remove in post-production—so we could shoot comfortably, enjoy the session, and capture everything in beautiful light.

In just 40 minutes, we were able to capture plenty of beautiful and stylish photos. For the second location, we chose a nearby spot next to Gyeongbokgung—the “7080 Street” area that recreates a retro Korean vibe.


One big advantage was that we could go there without changing out of hanbok, which made everything simple and efficient. Dia loved it and said it reminded her of the Reply drama series.

With a variety of concepts, and the chance to step inside some of the shops on weekdays, the fun easily doubles.

Even though it’s called an elementary school today, you can still see the old term “National School” that was used in the past—along with the classic arcade machines in front of a stationery shop, something that’s much harder to find these days.

These days, modern cafés have taken their place and many have disappeared, but in the past there were cafés known as “dabang,” which were a big part of everyday life.

All of these photos were taken at two locations in less than an hour and a half. The Winter Session runs until the end of February, so there are about ten days left, and I’m planning to offer another great-value session again in summer.
