I photograph the moments that cities try to forget — the man asleep under transmission towers, the light that falls wrong on a Soviet apartment block, the street vendor whose face has been worn smooth by the same gesture ten thousand times. I am not looking for beauty. I am looking for the thing that stays after everything else has moved on.
Biography
Yoon Jeong Vin is a travel and street photographer based in Seoul, South Korea. Working primarily with Fujifilm cameras, he photographs across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe — drawn to cities in transition, to the edges of modernity, and to the quiet that sits between chaos and order.
His project Pylons, shot in Kuwait, was featured in Musée Magazine and earned recognition in international photography competitions. His series Vibe, documenting Swiss everyday life, was selected by Lonely Planet Korea and exhibited at Fujifilm X Gallery Seoul. He has been featured on Lensculture and in various photography publications.
His work does not announce itself. It waits.
