every story is deserving

At the core, I believe that photographs are immersive and contemplative, and through color, movement, and light, emotion is shared.

I am not the storyteller; you are.


Born in Chicago, IL, raised in Yongin, S. Korea, I arrived in NYC in 2014 to start a bachelors at Columbia University, where I majored in Sociology and Philosophy. It was in college that I discovered my love for dance and movement, and it was also in college that my photography side hustle took off! After working in industry as an administrator for three years, I decided that I wanted my art to take a more central role in my day to day life.

Enter: studio hope.
