Welcome to the final post in my 2023 Year in Review series. This post covers the months of October, November, and December. These are usually our most predictable in terms of weather but this year things got thrown out of order a little. Our usually short-lived autumn colours came in patches all throughout the final 4 months of the year. Normally, they come and go in the last week of October and the first week of November. The normally bitterly […]
Welcome to the third blog in my Year in Review series for 2023. This section takes us through the dramatic weather of summer and into the calmer month of September when autumn starts to show its hand. Despite the heat, summer offers beautiful greens that we don’t get at any other time of year and the beginning of autumn can be equally as beautiful as when all the leaves change (but it lasts a lot longer!). July – Family, […]
Welcome back to part 2 of this year’s Year in Review post series. As the weather warmed up, this year really took flight and it was one of the busiest quarters we’ve ever had. I hope you’ll enjoy a peek into some of the sessions from that time. April – Family, Couple, Proposal, Editorial, eCommerce and Event Photography To kick off April, I had a session with the Brady family in the VERY early blooming cherry and plum blossoms. […]
Welcome one and all to my 2023 Year in Review. Carrying on the tradition of previous years, this will be a look at many of my activities as a photographer in Korea this year. In this first quarter, we started slowly as we always do. But, as the world started to defrost, the work began! I hope you’ll enjoy the mix of families, couples, events, and even travel photography in this first quarter. January – Family, Couple, eCommerce, and […]
The monsoon is here. I’m sitting at my computer now listening to the rain beating on my roof. There is a stack of towels next to the door waiting in case our downpipes can’t handle the volume and we get a little overflow into the hall outside the house. Fingers crossed that doesn’t happen! What this situation tells me is that summer is in full swing and it’s about to get really hot here. We don’t do too many family […]
This is the final post in my 2022 Year in Review series. The final quarter of this year saw Korea’s border control relax even more and, with that, a massive influx of visitors from abroad. This may be the busiest we have ever been during the final quarter of the year. This will be a long post, so please do get a cup of tea and settle in. Many of these sessions will also become full blogs as 2023 progresses, […]
Welcome to the third installment of my annual Year in Review series. In this blog, we’ll take a look at the goings on from July-September of 2022. Please do check out parts one and two if you haven’t already! July – Proposal, Family, and Editorial Photography July started out with a quick trip down to Jeju for Lai Sheng’s proposal to Brenda. We got a beautiful, but extremely hot and humid day for it. The full story of that one […]
Welcome back to my 2022 Year in Review series! This post will take us from spring in April through to early summer in June. There’s plenty of family, event, proposal, and pre-wedding photography here, as well as a sprinkling of commercial and e-commerce photography. I hope you’ll enjoy this beautiful time of year as much as I did photographing it. April – Event, Family, Couple, and Travel Photography Korea finally began to lower its entry requirements and that, coupled […]
I debated long and hard about how to make my Year in Review work this year. Unlike much of the world, Korea was still struggling with how to work its way out of the pandemic for the first half of the year. This led to confusing policies and odd rules that left everyone feeling very uncertain. As such, work was actually more scarce than at the beginning of the pandemic for me. So, rather than post an image from each […]
Hanboks. They’re gorgeous. Especially the ones that lean towards the traditional style. Of course, the tourist ones can be fun to wear, but that gold trim can be a little much at times. Renting a set of gorgeous traditionally-styled ones makes for a beautiful way to have your family photos done in Seoul. Viet, Thad, and their children did just that. Through a recommendation I provided, they were able to get clean and relatively simple hanboks that not only looked […]
