“Eric’s street photography, centered on ordinary citizens absorbed in the exchanges of everyday life, encapsulates the fleeting experience and focuses on the beauty in the mundane, resulting in unusual juxtapositions that inspire calming pause and contemplation in the viewer’s typically hectic life. He likens photography to a play: the environment is a stage, and the individuals are the actors.”
Eric Kim specializes in black and white street photography, and has taken photos from all over the globe, including Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice, Cinque Terre, Prague, London, and Korea.
