Bio

I am an Australian contemporary art photographer with South Korea heritage. I use my art to interpret emotions, opinions, ideas and events exposed in my life. Botanical items are regular featured within my work and are used to creatively represent these ideas. Formally trained as a commercial photographer with strong knowledge in film and darkroom artistry I approach my work with a mix of classical technique with the modern gloss of commercial photography. Special effects are combined with suspended botanicals to activate and expose my ideas.
