Seoul Private Hanbok Photoshoot at Gyeongbokgung Palace (opens in a new tab)

9 1 h

A private hanbok photoshoot inside Gyeongbokgung Palace. One hour of shooting, 300+ photos to browse, 15 fully retouched, and 2 Polaroids in your hand the same day. Hi! I'm Yong, a Korean photographer based in Seoul, and I love to show you my city through my lens. I've had the privilege of working with travelers from all over the places and every single one of them arrived a little nervous but left with photos they couldn't stop looking at. My dream isn't only to give you professional-quality photos. It's to share an unforgettable day and my love for my country with you. I'd be so glad if you'd be part of that journey. My style focuses on minimalism: I strip out visual clutter and keep colours restrained, so you stay the subject rather than the background. One small tip — Simple Hanboks are more beautiful than heavily patterned ones. One or two main colours and minimal gold embroidery will do more for your photos than anything I can fix in editing. Best Wishes, Yong.
