A photograph is neither taken nor seized by force. It offers itself up. It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos. -Henri Cartier-Bresson

Photography has always sparked my curiosity; I was hooked by the age of twelve. Through photography I have explored both my personality and the world around me. When I documented my sister’s wedding in Korea, I found that saving those ephemeral moments for some one brought a lasting value into my work.

After I received my B.A from San Francisco State University I turned my art into a profession, capturing the memorable moments in daily life and the celebrations that mark the milestones in people’s lives.

I also believe in passing skills on to the wider world. While working professionally, I have volunteered at SF MOMA Matches and SF Camerawork First Exposures, teaching inner-city youth photographic techniques and art history. In the future I will be working with SF MOMA Family Studio teaching the artistic process with hands-on art projects to young adults.
