About Jaewon
Jaewon Choi is a photographer from Seoul, Korea, based in Toronto, Canada. His passion for photography is deeply rooted in my interests in art, cinema, and journalism. While pursuing a journalism major at university, Jaewon was introduced to the world of photojournalism, igniting his passion for photography.
He finds joy in capturing the inherent beauty found in the ordinary. His lens is finely attuned to the nuances of everyday life, people, and their stories, with the help of the intriguing interplay of light and form. Jaewon endeavors to capture the timeless essence of his subjects through carefully constructed compositions.
Jaewon has dedicated himself to honing his ability to see the world through a photographer's eye. From fleeting everyday moments to significant events, Jaewon consistently strive to be a keen observer before pressing the shutter release button, aiming to capture the essence of each moment with sincerity and authenticity.
He believes that a good photographer is not only a technically skilled image maker but also a compelling storyteller. To tell a good story, one must have empathy towards whom or what they are photographing.
Jaewon has been studying the works of many masters who all possessed both a photographer's eye and an empathetic eye. In any given opportunity, he strives to use his "eyes," his background, and voice to explore new domains of photography.
