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)

Shanghai Oh My

A friend had a business trip in Shanghai and asked if I wanted to join. Of course I said yes. I was surprised by the pure beauty in architecture of all the Shanghai buildings. Enjoy the pictures.

..

For as long as I have owned a camera I love to take shots of people in action on a bike or motorcycle. I dont know why but it makes me feel good.

If you ever go to Shanghai you must have Soup Dumplings. It is like salty liquid crack shoved inside a herion moist dumpling wrapped in a cannabis skin. Amazing!!

....

Here are some black and whites to make me look artsy.

So apparently in China your paid ~~Profesional~~ driver, will drive like an idiot and go well over 200km/h. Their highway was like the wild west where anything goes. It was one of the scariest events I have ever been apart of, but Im not a little bitch so I just took a nap instead. :p

..

This is what Joe (my friend that invited me) would look like if he were a blue medical ninja.

Working hard? Nope all watching TV.

EunHa & Jay’s Wedding

This weekend I was invited to the wedding of an Ultimate Player. I knew both of them form the Jeju Ultimate Tournament from a couple weeks back. Being only a guest at this wedding was a bit of a relief. Usually I am shooting weddings and never get the opportunity to enjoy the festivities. However at the end of the wedding when the paid photographer was done doing group shots, I decided the ex-wedding photographer in me would take over and do the “Fun, Goof Off” Shot.

........

In typical Korean Wedding fashion the bouquet toss is just a photo opportunity and not an actual hilarious “free for all” event like in most western weddings. As a photographer this is awesome, because you can redo the shoot if you dont get it the first time!!. On a side note the bouquet was digitally put in for the first bouquet shot as it was originally out of the frame.

After the wedding Sunny and I went to Shilla Duty free to buy some sunglasses. But while we were there I decided to take the opportunity to shoot in a very beautiful location.
