It was a pleasure working with Hwawon. She efficiently managed the video production in Seoul and captured excellent footage. The communication was great throughout the process. Highly recommended.

Hello, I'm bilingual video/photo journalist based in Seoul, South Korea. My experience includes work as a camera operator for BBC News, photography for international documentary festivals, and production of corporate videos. I've also served as a news researcher and producer for major Korean networks KBS and JTBC, bringing a unique blend of global and local perspectives to my work. Beyond news, I've expanded my creative range as an assistant director for music videos and contributed to art poster design projects. I specialize in capturing high-quality footage of South Korea's vibrant art, contemporary dance, and music scenes, offering clients deep local insights paired with international media expertise. My combination of technical skill, cultural understanding, and diverse media experience makes me the ideal choice for clients seeking expert visual storytelling in South Korea. I lived in Berlin for a year, so I also speak a bit of German!

Choreography Trans Mood Film
Hyeontaek Oh, the youngest choreographer in this Arts Council Korea project, explores the confusion of people in their mid-20s through dance. Visually striking and intense, it contrasts fight scenes with soft embraces. With zero budget, it was filmed in a small 35.58 sq ft room using only a Sony A7C and minimal lighting. The performance, divided into four movement, aims to give viewers a glimpse into the complex experiences of young adults today.
