While working as a marketing manager in South Korea,
Chang Kyun Kim spent a lot of face time with design
agencies. In the process, Kim became so enamored of commercial photography that he switched careers and enrolled
in California's Brooks Institute of Photography. A year later, he transferred to the MFA program in photography at New York City's Parsons School of Design, where he is now studying to become not a commercial photographer but a "great architectural photographer." His adopted home has given him inspiration in the form of skyscrapers.
"My works about architecture start from my thought that buildings and space have a soul; they express emotions just like human beings," says Kim, who calls this series of images Their Dialogues. "I realized the buildings were actually talking to each other," he adds, "laughing, screaming and sometimes arguing. I decided to capture the amazing moments with my 4x5 view camera."
