Tarsim – Indonesia

I knew Yong is a very nice guy from the moment I saw his description in his service. At first I still worry about the photo session will be very awkward, because I’m a solo traveler. But it turns out very fun, Yong was very nice and fun to talk to.

Jeena – United States

Yong was so exceptionally helpful, kind, professional, and made us feel very comfortable. He helped arrange for makeup, hair, and hanbok rental that did not disappoint! Beyond that, Yong's photography was beautiful! We had the best lighting and fewer tourists at the end of the day. I was sad at first because we booked on a Tuesday when the main palace was closed, but the Changdeokgung Palace and gardens were perfect and exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Yong, for going above and beyond. It was a pleasure and your photos will be a wonderful reminder of the joy we experienced visiting Korea -my long lost home!

My dream is to offer not just professional-quality photos, but to share unforgettable experience and my love for my country! I had the privilege of working with clients across the globe - Singapore, Japan, France, America and so much more - I whole heartedly invite you to be part of my journey!

Best wishes, Yong Kwon.

Recommendation for Hanbok Rental Store:
- PLEASE contact me through the E-mail or the emergency number provided by GetyourGuide for recommendations. I literally had clients coming to shoots without proper shoots, them having to change inside a storage room because they booked a hanbok store packed with tourists. Hanboks from rental stores popular in social media tend to have very low quality, and it breaks my heart when I have to see them exhausted after renting Hanbok from those stores, and also look bad on photos. I try my best to warn my clients to stay away from those stores, but they rarely ask..

Additional Tips:
- Prioritize on choosing a Hanbok that suits and match your Skin Tone.
- My style of photography focuses on minimalism in colors, removing unwanted elements in the image. Instead of choosing Hanbok with many of patterns and colors, try to choose hanbok that looks simple (without gold patterns and flowers), with maximum 1 or two main colors!
- Renting at least 2hours is suggested.

Notes:
* Meeting point is Gyeongbokgung Station Exit 4!
* Book my time 1 HOUR LATER than the time you reach the Hanbok Rental Store. (Say, If you book me at 10:00am, you need to arrive at the rental store at 09:00a.m.)
* Leave all your stuff in the Rental Store. You won't need anything other than your phone. (I'll also be taking photos with your phone for you :))

Tips for Hanbok Rental:
I *NEVER* force anyone - including ALL my clients - to buy anything from anyone. I simply introduce you the stores, and let you decide the hanbok you wish to try depending quality.. I don't receive anything from the stores.
The reason I introduce you these stores is because they have higher quality hanbok than other stores for the same price, and their hanbok matches very well with my style of photography!
I worked with these stores for very long, so once they know you booked through me, they tend to me more generous with rental time and sometimes lend you additional accessories too :)
so PLEASE contact me for recommendations and details for Hanbok Store!
whatsapp and e-mail will be provided once the booking is made
The store I recommend can vary depending on the time and location we decide to shoot!
Cash and Card payment available!
Rental costs 40,000krw~90,000krw depending on the quality and design.
