Kim, Hector

Hector Kim is a Korean-born American photographer who now shares his time between New York, Seoul, Bangkok and Stockholm. Born and raised in Seoul, Kim moved to the U.S. as a teenager. Along with his first car, a 35mm Asahi-Pentax, which Kim's father had used for forensic photography, was passed down to the young Kim. The three soon became best friends and traveled across North America, and it shaped the later years of Kim's life as a nomad artist. Until leaving the U.S. for graduate school education in Europe and round-the-world journeys, Kim enjoyed his career as a commercial videographer /
