More about Jinaa K....

What do you love about your job?

There is a cancer patient there. Her close friend her dog helping her to be better by her side.
Walking a day, walking a week, walking a month and a year, her dog walks until she is better. By her side. (This is one of my beach photo's description.)
I love to take portraits, documentary. One day I took an old couple's photos and in a while after I heard that the old man passed away. I felt sad but I was grateful to have a chance to capture their memorable lifetime.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I do not make an setting up photographs as possible as much I try people feel natural like their ordinary day. I believe that is the best way of capturing their life moments. I am talking to them like an interviewer. I am interested in people's life moment. I think their face contains their life stories. People's face getting brighter when they share their beautiful moments. I love to catch it.

A fun fact about this photographer

I studied art and dances in high school and university. I just know when is the best time to catch the moments. I am taking photos almost every day. Mostly, of my children's portraits but I try to express as the portrait of our generation. I am a mother of four bright children. In past years, I challenge myself that my passion transfer to career. My four children are witnesses. They proud of their mother is a professional photographer.
There is an expression "mountain over mountains" in Korea. Do you want to just fall asleep in front of a big mountain or struggle to overcome adversity like a textbook? If you must live, you have to climb a mountain, cross a river and cross an obstacle. Who knows if there will be a new path make renewed someone's mind? I am climbing it named photography-mountain and its hiking just started to hard enough. I know that will not be stopped or gave up. I wish that I can meet people with my talent and passion for photography. I wish that my photographs touched and renewed their mind.
