United Satates Collections


During my time in the U.S., I explored the visual contrasts between Los Angeles and New York—two cities with distinct rhythms and characters.

From the cinematic dreamscape of the West to the dynamic urban pulse of the East, I sought to capture honest human moments and poetic light through street and documentary photography. Each frame reflects my evolving approach to visual storytelling.

City of Frames：Los Angeles Through a Cinematic Lens
Los Angeles is more than just a city—it's a living film set, where reality and fiction often blur. In this series, I explore the everyday streets of LA through the lens of cinema, drawing inspiration from the visual poetry of films like La La Land and the city’s long-standing relationship with storytelling.
My focus lies in capturing fleeting human moments—quiet glances, shadowed alleyways, and bursts of sunlight on pavement—that feel like stills from a movie. Each image is composed not just as a photograph, but as a frame from a larger, imagined narrative.
Street photography in LA carries a unique atmosphere: it’s a place where everyone seems to be both living and performing. By leaning into this cinematic duality, I aim to reveal the dreamlike layers beneath the surface of daily life.
This collection is my visual love letter to the city's contradictions—its solitude and glamour, its chaos and calm—and a reflection of my passion for both photography and film as powerful forms of storytelling.

A City of Ages: Life in New York Across Generations
New York is a city that never stops moving. While studying at The New York Times photography program, I tried to tell a quiet but powerful story about life in New York — not just as a place, but as a stage where people of all ages live, connect, and pass time.
As I photographed in places like Bryant Park, Central Park, and Chinatown, I realized how these communal areas serve as mirrors of life’s timeline. Each image became a chapter: youth in motion, adulthood in balance, and age in stillness. This sequence gave my photographs a natural beginning, middle, and end — much like life itself.
I learned how to use photography not just to document, but to narrate. Every composition — the placement of people, their expressions, the light — helped tell the story of a living, breathing city that embraces all ages. It reminded me that in the fast pace of New York, there’s always space for every phase of life.

Paris — Finding Romance in the Ordinary
Paris has always been imagined as a romantic city, but while photographing it, I became interested in a quieter kind of romance — not in grand gestures, but in fleeting moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Walking through the streets, I looked for moments where light, architecture, and people seemed to meet by chance. A couple sharing a table behind a café window, an elderly woman sitting in the afternoon sun, strangers passing through reflections, or a person quietly looking at a painting — these ordinary scenes began to feel almost cinematic. The city became less like a destination and more like a collection of small stories waiting to be discovered. I was drawn to the way sunlight softened the old stone buildings and how reflections created another layer between the viewer and the people being photographed. These details gave the photographs a sense of distance and intimacy at the same time, as if I were witnessing moments that belonged to someone else’s story.

Provence  — Between Stone and Sea
Provence is a place where history and nature exist side by side. Traveling through Provence, Nice, and the surrounding small towns, I was drawn to the contrast between ancient streets and the open Mediterranean coast — two very different landscapes connected by the same sense of place.

In the old towns, I photographed weathered stone walls, narrow streets, colorful shutters, local storefronts, and architectural details shaped by centuries of history. There was something fascinating about the way traces of the past remained visible in everyday life. These places did not feel like museums; people still lived, worked, and moved through them, making history part of the present.

Along the coast, the atmosphere changed completely. The dense streets opened into the sea, with sunlight reflecting across the water, boats along the harbor, and people gathering around the coastline. I became interested in how the Mediterranean transformed the visual language of the region — from enclosed stone streets to expansive horizons, from the textures of old buildings to the movement of water.
