Seoul, Korea. Part of my youth in Seoul essay for a @magnumphotos book. In some department stores there are photo studios set up for teenagers to have their photos taken in wedding dress or just dress up with clothes provided by the studio. I had not seen anything quite like this anywhere. Yet it was so fascinating I spent 2-3 days shooting. Pictures often have multiple uses for me. This was used in the Magnum book for its original intent , yet is also part of my Dream Hotel sequence in an entirely different context. My original intent as a pro magazine photographer was to be didactic to a mass audience. Now I prefer to have the work ask rather than answer. I think as audiences become more sophisticated the new young photographers will be compelled to write their own songs. Be mysterious. Tweak the imagination. Find their voice. #seoul #seoulnightlife
