With over two decades of experience in photography, I’ve been fortunate to have my work featured in major publications like National Geographic and Travel+Leisure. I hold a Master of Education from St. Francis Xavier University, which has shaped my unique approach to teaching photography. My passion lies in helping others discover their creative voice, whether through workshops, my photography-focused podcast (The Sajin Photography Podcast), or collaborations with organizations across Korea.
