One of the things I love about living in a (relatively) big city is never knowing what kinds of surprising treasures you might stumble into. I've happened upon movies being shown against the side of buildings, colorful parades, and unique art shows. I was walking around a couple weeks ago when I came across some artists selling and showing their work in Union Square. As I've mentioned on this blog before, I particularly love photography as art, so naturally I was drawn to Youngbok Photography.
Youngbok was raised on a vegetable farm near Seoul, South Korea. Probably because of this, he's since been drawn to traveling out doors – and chronicling his journeys through pictures. On his website, he says his experience growing up on a farm was calm, and “zen-like,” and that's what he tries to capture in his pictures - whether they're a seascape, city shot, or landscape.
He also likes to find “secondary” images that give the picture depth. An abstract pattern can be captured in an image, but is something that we would often pass over in our day-to-day lives.
Looking at his pictures, you know exactly what this means. Something you look at every day can be seen in a new and different way when it's captured the right way and put on the paper in front of you. This is probably why I was so mesmerized by his work. A lot of the things Youngbok portrays are normal images, yet made extraordinary because of his talent for showcasing the things we sometimes miss.
Youngbok belongs to the San Francisco Society of Fine Art, and showcases his work with them when they have art fairs. He was also featured in the Bellvue Museum in July, in Bellvue, WA.
