Seoul

I have finally edited and created a new gallery in my archive, with the photos of Seoul I took last year.

This is a city that combines, like few in the world, cutting edge modernity with respect for its heritage and history. Visually, a strange mix of Ridley Scott with a dash of Kurosawa.

Photos and text available for publication.

Last night in the streets of Seoul, demonstrators demanding the ouster of their President while riot police in full gear prepare to dissolve the event.

Protests seem to be a very natural part of daily life in Korea. Koreans kept doing their shopping and enjoying their time out in this very commercial district of Seoul, while warnings from the police and hymns from the protesters blasted from loudspeakers. Although a clash seemed inevitable, at the end everyone left peacefully as if nothing had happened.

I have just landed in Seoul, where I'll be shooting for the next ten days. I decided to stay at a Hanok, a traditional Korean house converted into a hostel, rather than at a hotel. As I look at the little pine tree in front of my room, I am already happy I did.

Let me know if you need images from this city.
