Meet Cho in Tokyo

Three Things

1. When I am not photographing I like watching movies from every country. I'm especially a big fan of the Japanese director, Koreeda Hirokazu. I've been studying his style of shooting and mise-en-scene through his movies to improve my photography skills. I prefer more candid and natural photos than staged shots. I focus on creating images that feel like still cuts from a movie, filled with atmosphere and emotion. Also big fan of Bong Joon Ho and Park Chan Wook.
2. A photoshoot with me is relaxed and easygoing. Many of my clients have never done a professional shoot before, so I guide them with simple directions to help them feel comfortable. You don’t have to worry about posing — I’ll help you feel natural in front of the camera while you just enjoy the moment.
3. After graduating, I started working in marketing and sales with LG electronics for 4 years in Korea. I quit at the beginning of 2017 because I wanted to do what I love instead! After leaving the company, I flew to Spain to start the Camino de Santiago (pilgrim’s way to Santiago Compostela, Spain). While walking 20 kilometers every day for 30 days, I could focus on myself and think about my past and future. It was then that I made my decision and decided to come to Japan to work as photographer 🧡
