I'm a staff newsphotographer working for The Pusan Ilbo daily news in Pusan,Korea and now studying Photojournalism at Missouri School of Journalism In U.S.

When I started working for the Pusan National University weekly newspaper in 1989, I watched another photographer developed his pictures in small darkroom. At that time I was really impressed by the image of the young students clashing against riot police slowly developing in the small tray.

After that experience, I became a newsphotographer for the Pusan National University weekly newspaper and have taken picture of a lot of image about demonstrations and protesting of students and laborers for democracy. At that time I made up my mind to be newsphotographer.

Before graduating from university, I became a staff newsphotographer for The Pusan Ilbo Daily News. I have been busy with a lot of assignments about all kinds of issues that the newspaper has covered since in 1994. But I am always been interested in documentary photography .

One time I read an article in National Geographic about photographers for their magazine. That article said that the motto of their photographers is " real moments of real people doing a real things" I also would like to take pictures of those kinds of real moments to deliver a message to the people
