Shadow Pup – Portrait Session

By ORGANICTALESPhotographyNo Comments

“That’s the lesson of the dogs, that it’s important to both live in the moment and then go on to the next wonderful thing.”
-W.Bruce Cameron, The Dogs of Christmas.

I had such a lovely time visiting Roxy Hutton of CityGirl Searching down in the small town of Buan. Roxy is a fellow South African Creative who also resides in South Korea with her husband Dale Hutton and their adorably cute rescue pup, Shadow.
Roxy and I connected via social media and started collaborating on creative ideas and concepts, exchanging tips and tricks We eventually decided to meet up for a shoot and afterwards we sat down over lots of cups of tea, while playing around in our editing software, sharing knowledge and insight and more cups of tea.

It’s always such a wonderful thing when creatives get together and decide to share their knowledge. It is so refreshing and inspiring.

Snowscape

By ORGANICTALESPhotographyNo Comments

This was one of the most daring shoots I’ve done so far. Very different from my usual style and genre, but it turned out to be so much fun and such a great learning phase.
My model, Aletta was such a trooper and without her this shoot would never have materialized. We met a day before the shoot in a Starbucks cafe to throw some ideas around.

And lucky that we did it on this day since the snow came really early this year when it was still relatively hot and it all melted within a day. Originally we had all sort of ideas but we lacked the time to plan it all. Now we are waiting for the next snowfall to have those ideas come to life.

Kisses under Persimmon Trees

By ORGANICTALESCouplesNo Comments

Tyson and Staci are from Colorado and the Great state of Texas. Both adventurous souls who love to travel and explore and engage in all sorts of exhilarating activities. Both living and working in South Korea, it makes their travelwonder so much easier with all the great beaches of South East Asia so easily accessible. It was on one of these fun filled vacations to Thailand when Tyson decided to pop the question. And she said… “duh!”.

For the engagement photos we headed over to the Asan Folk Village for a picnic set up with some traditional Makeoli brewed by the couple themselves.
Autumn really is the most beautiful time of the year in Korea. So many red and orange trees colouring the grey city scapes. The Korean Ginkgo tree being the prettiest with its bright yellow leaves.

The magic between these two people is so obvious that anyone can sense it from a mile away. I’m so honored to have captured their love.

A Korean Village Love Affair

By ORGANICTALESCouples, WeddingNo Comments

A Korean Village Love Affair.
Nathan & Miran got married on a humid June afternoon and we met at Namsangol Hanok village just outside Chungmuru subway station in Seoul. We started off with the traditional Hanbok styled shoot. Hanbok wear is made from silk and a lot of detail goes in to these dresses. Because they are made from silk they are extremely hot. I commend Miran for keeping up in the extremely humid weather we experienced that day.
After the hanbok session I had a few minutes break while they changed in to something a little more comfortable and less formal.
