The striking photographs of Kyungwoo Chun are produced with a highly unusual technique. The artist takes a great deal of time for each picture, using exposure times of up to severa l hours in some cases to capture more than the facial features of his models. He appears to record nothing less than their aura, their entire personality in all of its complexity. Chun is also firmly convinced that his presence influences his photographs—that these unique works can be created only through dialogue between the photographer and the subject. Kyungwoo Chun has handdyed each of the prints in this expressive Collector’s Edition, thus heightening the depth and the unique quality of the selected motif. Show more
