PHOTOGRAPHER|CREATIVE

I am a New Yorker with 25+ years photographing for small businesses, non-profits, corporate organizations, magazines, and designers. While I'm known for candid portraiture, my work spans everything from historic moments like Reagan's funeral and documenting Grey Gardens, to cultural stories like the best sushi spots in the US, to capturing emerging talent like a young Philip Seymour Hoffman. One of my favorite assignments was documenting the new breeds debuting at the Westminster Dog Show.

My personal photo essays focus on creating and preserving memories while sharing observations on culture through intimate portraits.

Beyond the camera, I've worn different creative hats—art director, producer, website designer, strategist. I’ve even co-hosted a podcast. This range of experience in media and design helps me approach every shoot with a broader perspective on storytelling and visual communication.

I'm a dog and cat lover, knitter, paper flower artist, and book lover - grassroots everything.

K-POD

K-Pod, a production of KoreanAmericanStory.org, is a series dedicated to the stories of Korean Americans in arts and culture. Hosts Catherine Hong and Juliana Sohn talk to artists, writers, designers, directors, musicians, chefs, and other creatives about their work, their lives, and how they came to forge their careers.

That’s the official blurb! Catherine and I first met as teenagers at a high school summer program, then started K-Pod almost 30 years later. Catherine is an excellent editor and writer. We both have extensive experience working with magazines. It is our pleasure to share these conversations with fellow Koreans about family, culture, and creative inspiration.
