CS: Eung Ju Kim: Community Spotlight

Eung Ju Kim (Sean) has become a staple in the Beginner
Photography Podcast community since buying his camera in early
2018. Since then he has been sharing his work and it continues to
develop and advance. His landscapes and beach scenes are simple
and relaxing. Today we talk about what photography means to him
and his plans to progress is photography in the future.


 


Key Takeaways:


Starting his photography career with nature sceneries was
associated with hiking, which he did more often following a
distressing break up with his girlfriend.

Sean describes 'finding the beauty of what's there, either in
an ugly chaotic scene or in my stage of sadness was the key to
finding the true beauty of my journey.

Looking back, Sean explains how with experience, he started
being able to identify things he could have done differently in a
picture and how to look out for such things.

Sean explains the motivation behind intentionally creating
images with huge surroundings, landscape and people by noting
that when we focus on something bigger, our problems seem to be
small. His Christian faith also played a role in this preference.

Sean explains that he is bored with taking pictures of
people, and is trying to figure out what he can add to it.

The inspiration for Sean's photography is his Christian
faith.

For new photographers: Go to a library, read a bunch of books
and even if it doesn't make sense, consume it, even if you don't
practice it, over time things will start to click. Once things
start to click, you will have more questions and you can go and
read it again, then it will make sense, and you will gain
mastery.
