ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This photograph was taken at a nature reserve in Gwangju, South Korea in 2022. While metasequoia, or dawn redwood, is often glamorized with full green leaves casting long, deep shadows for the visitors, the leafless ones in this black-and-white photograph invite the viewer's attention to details. Perhaps it is why many pencil-using artists often choose to draw winter trees. The photograph was taken using a medium-format camera, which has a larger and more sensitive sensor than most consumer-level ones, with a wide-angle lens mounted in order to maximize such details and retain the vertical lines with minimal distortion. Exposure was carefully controlled both at the time of capturing and in post-processing to share the mood I had experienced. Every season offers us a different view on nature, and the winter is certainly not any less gorgeous.

[ Picturemaker / Traveler ] Hector Kim is a Korean-born American fine art photographer who now shares his time between New York, Seoul, Bangkok and Stockholm. Born and raised in Seoul, Kim moved to the U.S. as a teenager. Along his first car, a 35mm Asahi-Pentax, which Kim's father had used for forensic photography, was passed down to the young Kim. The three soon became best friends and traveled across North America, and it shaped the later years of Kim's life as a nomad artist. Until leaving the U.S. for graduate school education in Europe and round-the-world journeys, Kim enjoyed his career as a commercial videographer / photographer. Kim filmed and photographed many celebrities in Hollywood including the Dustin Hoffman family, Don Henley of the Eagles, and the Katzenberg family of Dream Works, and he also created promotional films and online contents for fortune 500 corporate clients like Samsung, Canon and NBC.
