Korea
Bathed in the golden light of autumn, this collection journeys from the granite cliffs of Seoraksan to the fiery maples of Naejangsan and the quiet temple grounds of Baekyangsa. Palaces, pavilions, and fortress walls frame the season’s rich colors, from Seoul’s historic gates to the tranquil water of rural landscapes.
Each photography distills Korea’s balance of natural dram and architectural grace, capturing moments where mountains air, turning leaves, and centuries-old craftsmanship meet.
Japan
Photographed in the soft light of spring after the cherry blossoms have faded, this collection moves from Kyoto’s wooden streets and tiered pagodas to the golden pavilions and castle moats of Japan’s historic landmarks.
In Tokyo, steel and neon meet tradition, from the red lattice of Tokyo Tower to the quiet symmetry of shrine gates. Highlights include the iconic Osaka Castle surrounded by fresh greenery and the floating torii of Itsukushima Shrine rising from the waters of the Seto Inland Sea. Each frame captures Japan’s layered contrasts — old and new, bustling and serene.
American West
From alpine lakes reflecting dawn light to the striated canyons and sandstone cliffs of Utah, this collection distills the region’s vast beauty into moments of quiet drama. Warm desert sunsets fall over ridgelines, while wind-sculpted rock and painted badlands reveal the geological artistry of time.
Scenes from Zion’s towering cliffs to the textured expanse of the high desert capture the West’s shifting palette — from soft pink skies to deep rust and gold.
Street
From ornate facades and clock towers to quiet underpasses and shadow-lined walls, this collection explores the textures and geometry of the city. Spring blossoms frame domed capitols, while afternoon light carves deep contrasts across stone and glass. In these scenes, people appear sparingly — a cyclist in silhouette, a lone pedestrian crossing sunlit pavement — allowing architecture, light, and negative space to become the main characters.
Blending historic landmarks with modern skylines, the series captures urban environments in rare moments of stillness and clarity.
