my story
Hello my name is Gakyung Yu.
Volunteer
During a trip to Korea, I visited a rural village and took portraits of the local residents. After adding some light color adjustments, I printed the photos and gave them as gifts. As people age, their confidence in their appearance often diminishes. Yet, studies show that having photos of oneself can positively impact mental health, even helping with depression.
With this in mind, I hoped to help the elderly see themselves in a new, beautiful light through their portraits. I still vividly remember the striking contrast between the timeless, unchanging village scenery and the deeply wrinkled faces of the elders, reflecting a life where time seemed to have passed too quickly. That juxtaposition remains with me to this day.

photography & filming
Did you know all photos in this website was from me! What I appreciate most about photography is how it’s changed my perspective. Everyday sights like the sky, my neighborhood, or familiar streets now look beautiful when I imagine capturing them. Through the camera’s lens, even ordinary moments hold joy, offering me an escape and helping me see the world’s beauty more clearly.
