North Korean Military Defectors for the WSJ
When North Korea decided to send its troops to Ukraine to help the Russian Army, the Wall Street Journal interviewed two ex-military defectors about this strategy. I was assigned to portray them. The full story written by Dasl Yoon is available here. Below are two of my portraits.

Camp Humphrey | South Korea
Life in Camp Humphrey, the biggest American Military base in Asia.
A while ago, I was assigned by NBC to shoot a story at Camp Humphrey, the biggest American Military base in Asia. It is a two hour drive south from Seoul and its slowly replacing the Yongsan based which was located in downtown Seoul. I have spent a day on the base and we had a great access as the local football high-school team was playing against another base ( Okinawa ). The base looks like any suburban American city with its shopping malls, fast foods, trucks etc… Here are some of the photos shot during that assignment.
