Photo class amateur model whom I cast from the streets of Hongdae. Her and my students gelled well and this is a picture that resulted from their good rapport, I think. I just snapped some shots for Instagram, really.
A very red photo class.
Photo class in Insadong.
The Day After in Insadong. Photo class.
Violet in photo class.
Violet fills the alley with her presence. Flash photo class like a mofo.
Photo class with model Dora.
Yes. Just yes. Clean lines. Seoul Fashion Week street shooting and photo class final flash session.
Outdoor in the Korean alley shot from the flash workshop. Violet brings it. Always.
How the sausage is made. We held a flash with the zoom making the beam as tight as possible right over the model's head. At ISO 100, The f-stop was 5.6 with the flash on its weakest power setting. In the shot on top, the shutter was at 1/160 of a second s
Photo class student helping the class work with off-camera flash for the first time.
Even their friend was dressed to impressed, whom I impressed into service as a lighting assistant. Needs that flash of pure white light flash sunshine to cut through the yellow-orange murkiness of Seoul's sodium-vapor street lamps. Strobe on a remote can'
Drive by with flash, Gilden-style. This what the SFW fan kids and kids in general be wearing.
Natural esque street fashion with flash on remote and assistant Mihwa. The girls didn't need much prompting to continue to do exactly what they were doing when we came across them.
More hanboks is always a good thing.

She turned out to be a confident model with a Mona Lisa smile. Turns out she's an exchange student studying somewhere and Seoul and bought her sports jersey dress in Korea.

Saw this pink eye (pink shadow around the eyes) several times yesterday. Fill me in. This a Japanese thing?
That's how I roll. With a normal 35mm frame aspect ratio, shoot low angle, fill the frame, emphasize what the subject is emphasizing. This was in Myeongdong 2010. #InstaSize #seoul #korea #korean #myeongdong #pinup #instapin #streetfashion #streetfashi
Some 10th-graders kick back at SFW outside the showroom area. It's a popular place filled with fashion energy and life, attracting even girls in uniforms who are happy to just be there and bask in it.
Bruce Gilden NYC meets Garry Winogrand meets Scott Schuman to make a Mike Hurt. Guerrilla street photography meets street fashion. Loved this couple's look. Beyond what they were wearing. It was about their mode of being. Made me happy.
Throwback Seoul Street Fashion: Dongdaemun Reggae Couple, 2007.
Ever-popular street fashionista Nanjung looks great and always knows how to strike a pose, even when running to the subway to get the hell OUTTA dodge. She struck a few poses like BOOM BOOM BOOM and was gone. A true pro.
That's the book cover right there. I ain't kidding.
Demure Korean girls are an ideal here in Korea and I've seen that the kind of girls who would wear matching modern hanboks would be those who follow the expected custom of girls covering their mouths when laughing. I think this is a dividing line between
In the heart of Dongdaemun, Korea's powerhouse textiles and fast fashion industries, including the Private Branded Hives that power all the street fashion in Asia you know, including all the weirdness of Japan in the Nineties (Thanks, Dongdaemun!) and the
Dongdaemun and the fishnet Paepi.
Y'all didn't really think I was gonna just take a straight shot of this pair in front of all these buildings in Dongdaemun and not take a shot that forces your eye to travel from toe to head to the Migliore sign, did you ?

Fishnet Paepi and The Dongdaemun Hello APM.
The sleeves these days. Be there's that esc clutch again. This girl from Hong Kong is also wearing a dim e cres headband.
Raonmina.com wants YOU! This girl today with her traditional hanbok handmade into everydaywear was rocking it and wants YOU to visit her site!
The Korean traditional Hanbok has started to show up at the SFW festivities as there is a huge element of cosplay here. Indeed, the hanbok has become not much more than a costume in a new korea filled with Confucian consumers and a notoriously nouveau ric
Korea Heritage Fashion show, 2011. Fucking Hanbok heaven up in there.
The hanbok designer girl I bump into every season. She's the best. Handmade her own modern hanboks then launched a brand. And she models her own stuff. Hit up 라온미나. She's awesome.
The Hanbok designer I met on the street last season seems to be going places. Her manager was trying to shot-block me a bit but this nice nice lady remembered means pulled her pit bull back and eagerly posed for a picture. She's. Awesome. And that modern
Sori is a 2nd-year high schooler who last year wore an all-pink outfit, decked out from head-to-toe in cuteness and femininity. But that's not what's in this year. So she went dark.
Full frontal on the shoulders ain't a small thing in Korea.
Woman in the shopping mall where we grabbed dinner. Yes, one has to stop when one encounters a woman rocking a blue halter top pantsuit accessorizing a funky stuffed animal. In the mall.
The this girl from Hong Kong is sporting the dim e cres and esc brands. Well.

Ok, almost done with this smoking girl in the beret series, but the subject is just too good, with too many facets to a single suggestive and transgressive act, on top of being really amazing on the fly modeling, to not pull out all the Instagram filterin
Because a b-cut with actual smoke during the smoking is absolutely necessary.
Is it right? Is it wrong? Is it street? Street fashion? Social documentary? Social reportage? Is there a male gaze? Is it cliche? Is it worthy? Who caaaarres? She's real, I found this sexy smoking girl interesting, both sociologically and photographically
Bumped n old prop friend who insisted I catch her this season with the camera. Pressed to find just ONE more place to shoot in the soulless DDP Complex, I found one, which suited her considerably darker look this year. And if SHE's rocking the fishnets,
A very nice young lady who was in attendance of Seoul Fashion Week with her mom. As a usually uniform clad kid in a Korean high school, this was a big day for her. Mom was off to the side, directing.
Keep boing into sitting girls I think are like some kinda somebody, like some highfalutin', rootin' tootin' high roller, but it turns out to be a high school student who knows how to dress tack sharp and come bask in the fashion Sunshine at SFW. SHE's a f
