Hello, my name is Youn.

I was born and raised around Vancouver (Port Coquitlam) but I have also lived in Toronto, Edmonton and Korea.

The moment I got my first digital camera back in 2002 I knew my life would not be the same. I was obsessed with capturing the exciting moments of peoples lives. My passion for photography was so strong I quit my comfortable office job so I could travel more and take pictures from around the world. With the support and praise of my friends and colleagues I decided to take the plunge into the world of professional photographers.

In the last 9 years I have developed and mastered many different photography styles and techniques. Each style tailors to a different photo shoot as well as the client's own taste. As a multi-style and energetic photographer, matched with my passion to learn new and exciting ways to take "eye popping" pictures, I promise to deliver a fresh and an exciting set of photos you will cherish for a life time.

Lastly, my love for snowboarding and action based sports has given me an excellent sense of timing. I am able to capture those "pure" moments where an emotion or an action is on display for only a fraction of a second.

I Thank You for checking out my work and hope I will be shooting you soon. (Bad Pun, I know)

Vancouver Motorcycle Show 2012

This weekend I was invited to the Vancouver Motorcycle Show to take some pictures. Unfortunately I was only able to go for just one day (Saturday). Luckily though on Saturday the sky’s cleared up and it wasnt too bad on the track. It was still supper slippery but at least it wasn’t raining. I also wished I could have seen some SuperMotos racing but those were on Sunday. Well here are the photos from the event. Feel free to be a fan of my work at…..

Here is Bill Hitchon (Owner of 5th Gear) tearing it up on his quad.

This kid was tearing it up on the track. Even though the track was wet, he hit the corners at full tilt. Definitely a natural talent.

Crashing or falling on your bike sucks and I wouldn’t even wish that on my worst enemy, however seeing this made me smirk a bit, sorry it just did.

Just a few plugs and the tire should be ok. I swear.

Mindy & Edward’s Wedding

As many of you know, my little sister got married with a great man named Edward. Their wedding took place in Ottawa and a huge majority of my family flew down to see this great day.

It defies logic how my mom can stay so beautiful and young looking.

Good ole Brandy, she is representing our hometown. Now if we could only find a cup that said PO-COmton.

..Traditional Korean bows to the parents. I thought it was a great touch to a multi cultural wedding.

..

The Korean wedding photographer in me couldn’t resist doing the big group shot with a kiss.

..

Honestly, this shot of Ed is one of the best candid pictures I have ever taken in my life.

This one, not so much.

Mindy and Ed are prefect at doing the dip.

Mindy & Edward Engagement

My younger sister is getting married this October and I will also be their main photographer. In addition, both Ed and Mindy were down in Vancouver for a friends wedding so this was the prefect opportunity to do their engagement photos. I’ll be honest, it was kind of weird to do their photo session because engagement shots tend to be very “kissy” and no older brother wants to see that. However I was really glad with some of the shots that came out as well I was amazed at how easy it was to work with Mindy & Edward.

Gavin and Jes’ Wedding.

This weekend I was shooting Jes’ wedding. Jes is an old family friend and my sister was a part of the wedding party. Originally I was considered as the main photographer but at the time I was living in Korea and could not commit to the date. Luckily however I am now back in Vancouver and Jes asked if I could do the pre-ceremony shots (I of course said Yes). In addition, because Jes has a million dollar smile it was super easy to produce some of the best shots I have every taken. I only wish we had more time as there were more great photo opportunities at Georgia Hotel. Well here they are enjoy!!!
