I
photographed the Kim girls last summer in Pennsylvania when they were
visiting family. This time, I had the pleasure of visiting them at their
home in Korea. Little Carlyn changed so much since I last saw her! She’s definitely come out of her shell. Lovely Marley was calm as
usual. Occasionally, she’ll share her opinions and thoughts of the
workings of the world. You will not believe the eloquence of this
4-year-old. Oldest sister Ella is sincerely the best oldest sister
anyone could ask for. She manages her family with such good humor and
grace. Our day consisted of a little fashion show with casual clothes
and Hanbok (traditional Korean clothing), a ride around the block with
the scooters, and standing against the wall in height order to see
who’ll outgrow Mommy first. Hershey, their adorable chocolate dog,
jumped in for some play time too! Check him out sneaking into the
family photo! (Hint: He’s hiding in a bush in the upper right-hand
corner.) :)
I
was so happy to have the chance to photograph my best friend before her
wedding. We had a few locations in mind but due to the bit of
rainy/gloomy weather we decided to stick with the Seoul N Tower. This
is one of the landmarks in Korea and also the place where Dukhyun
proposed to Yesong! Despite the rain, the cherry blossoms were at their
peak and hung in there for us :) At night, we walked along the Han
River with the 63 building behind us-- another landmark of Korea. Yesong
and Dukhyun ended the long day with a romantic kiss against the lit
cityscape.
Some of the beauty still life I photographed for Nylon Magazine is out on the April Issue!
My
friend Brooke, who is a prop stylist assistant, and I did some test
shoots over the weekend. We wanted to set raw veggies and fruits
against a darker metal environment to see what kind of visual contrasts
we could create. And voila here are the results! We found that the hard
industrial textures really showed off the bright freshness of the
produce and helped draw our eyes to the original form of the subjects.
