Geo Travel Story about Seoul

I recently photographed a travel story on Seoul for GEO magazine, exploring the city’s unique balance of tradition and modernity. From quiet palace courtyards to the energy of neon streets, and from spring blossoms to futuristic architecture, Seoul revealed itself as a place constantly shifting between memory and transformation.

Through this assignment, my goal was to capture more than postcard views — to show how history, culture, and everyday life meet in one of Asia’s most dynamic capitals. Each frame became part of a larger portrait of a city that is at once deeply rooted and endlessly reinventing itself.

I am available for new assignments in Korea and across Asia. Whether for magazines, brands, or organizations, I bring both local experience and a documentary eye to creating images that tell meaningful stories.

Korea Travel Story for Geo Magazine

Last august, I have been assigned by Geo Magazine in France to travel around some of the UNESCO sites of Korea to shoot a travel issue. It was an incredible chance to visit the country where I am now based. The story was published in this month issue of the magazine, here are some of the unpublished photos and a gallery of the magazine press clip !

The trip took us from the fortress of Suwon to the Anohe folk villages. We then stayed in the temples of Haeinsa in the Gaya Mountains. The trip ended up the Yeosu peninsula when traveled around the islands and fishing villages.
