Seoul · A moment remembered through light
Minkyu Kong
travel photographer.I photograph the light, architecture and people encountered along the journey.
Minkyu Trip is a travel photography portfolio documenting landscapes and moments across Korea and the world—from Seoul and Jeju to Japan and Europe.
I believe even familiar scenery can be remembered
differently through the camera frame.
May a single photograph become a reason to travel again,
leaving a lasting scene between city and landscape.

1 / 6National Honam Biological Resources CenterMokpo · Korea
National Honam Biological Resources Center — a defining first view.
A first-hand photo record of National Honam Biological Resources Center in Mokpo. The series follows the quiet details found between the main viewpoints.
VISITED & RECORDED
섬의 자연을 닮은 유려한 건축과 넓은 하늘이 만나는 목포의 생태 문화 공간. The photographs follow the route I walked through Mokpo, keeping only the scenes that made me stop.
PHOTOGRAPHY NOTE
I framed the series around 유리창 너머 식물과 겨울 정원. In the following images, I stepped back enough to include 곡선 벽 앞 자원관 표지, keeping the real scale of the place in view.
