How did you start to work with photography? When your passion for photography did come about?

I think I've always been more of a visual person and have easier time expressing myself with imageries than words, also I think it's just part of my gene. My parents met because my dad was an admirer of my mom's paintings. Both my sister and my names start with "ye" meaning "art" in korean. I picked up photography in college more seriously, it was just a medium best fit for me.
