Hidden among the mountains of Busan, a village founded by Korean War refugees remains surrounded by one of South Korea's fastest-growing urban skylines. From above, the quiet settlement stands in striking contrast to the dense high-rise city beyond, revealing two vastly different eras within a single landscape. This photograph reflects the resilience of a community where history continues to exist alongside relentless urban growth.
South Korean photographer, drone pilot, and photojournalist. For over 16 years, I have documented the changing landscapes of Korea, while spending the past 11 years exploring perspectives made possible through drone photography. My work focuses on the relationship between nature, cities, and human presence, revealing familiar places from unexpected viewpoints. Through both aerial and ground-based photography, I seek to create visual records that preserve moments of light, landscape, and culture before they disappear.
