I was entrusted with producing high-quality product photography for their full lineup, which included both the Tapplock one+ and Tapplock lite in all available color variations. The project involved shooting multiple angles and setups to highlight the design, functionality, and aesthetic appeal of the locks. The photos were used across their website, social media, and promotional materials, contributing to their global branding efforts and elevating the visual presence of their products.

In 2023, I photographed Sertac Calimli in a nighttime shoot that embraced a dark, mysterious vibe using only the red glow of his car's taillights.

The soft red lighting created a dramatic contrast, casting shadows that highlighted Sertac’s silhouette and gave the car an almost otherworldly presence.

From the start of my photography journey, I volunteered at my local church, capturing events that were deeply rooted not only in my faith but also in my Korean heritage.

This experience broadened my perspective, allowing me to contribute my skills to a cause beyond my usual environment.
