Careers in Korea #4

in portraitphotography •  7 years ago 

Yongsan Electronics Market is the mecca for everything electronic in Seoul. There are about 10,000 stores (possible exaggeration) selling every imaginable item. Ranging from big name outlet stores to one-man stalls, you can find anything and everything you need.

During my time in Korea I spend 3 or 4 separate days just wandering around the market exploring, striking up a conversation with everyone I could. This particular shot is of a gent who I bought a lens from. I wanted a 40mm prime lens and had asked around at a few different stores for prices. I tested all the lenses I was offered, and as a test shot asked if I could photograph the stall owner. This gent duly obliged, and as the price was good, I bought the lens in question.

Below is the resulting photo. On my future visits to the market, he always gave me a smile or a wave.
