United Satates Collections


During my time in the U.S., I explored the visual contrasts between Los Angeles and New York—two cities with distinct rhythms and characters.

From the cinematic dreamscape of the West to the dynamic urban pulse of the East, I sought to capture honest human moments and poetic light through street and documentary photography. Each frame reflects my evolving approach to visual storytelling.

City of Frames：Los Angeles Through a Cinematic Lens
Los Angeles is more than just a city—it's a living film set, where reality and fiction often blur. In this series, I explore the everyday streets of LA through the lens of cinema, drawing inspiration from the visual poetry of films like La La Land and the city’s long-standing relationship with storytelling.
My focus lies in capturing fleeting human moments—quiet glances, shadowed alleyways, and bursts of sunlight on pavement—that feel like stills from a movie. Each image is composed not just as a photograph, but as a frame from a larger, imagined narrative.
Street photography in LA carries a unique atmosphere: it’s a place where everyone seems to be both living and performing. By leaning into this cinematic duality, I aim to reveal the dreamlike layers beneath the surface of daily life.
This collection is my visual love letter to the city's contradictions—its solitude and glamour, its chaos and calm—and a reflection of my passion for both photography and film as powerful forms of storytelling.

A City of Ages: Life in New York Across Generations
New York is a city that never stops moving. While studying at The New York Times photography program, I tried to tell a quiet but powerful story about life in New York — not just as a place, but as a stage where people of all ages live, connect, and pass time.
As I photographed in places like Bryant Park, Central Park, and Chinatown, I realized how these communal areas serve as mirrors of life’s timeline. Each image became a chapter: youth in motion, adulthood in balance, and age in stillness. This sequence gave my photographs a natural beginning, middle, and end — much like life itself.
I learned how to use photography not just to document, but to narrate. Every composition — the placement of people, their expressions, the light — helped tell the story of a living, breathing city that embraces all ages. It reminded me that in the fast pace of New York, there’s always space for every phase of life.
