is a first-generation Korean-American born in the San Francisco Bay Area.
He was first introduced to photography by his father at a young age after being intrigued by skateboarding magazines and films. As he grew up and other interests emerged, photography remained a staple that connected all of his hobbies together. The cultural elements from skateboarding, photography, cinema, music, cannabis, and the arts influenced the unique individual we know him by today.
Nowadays, Matthew is focused on creating fine art photography, providing freelance creative services, living an active and healthy lifestyle, and working within his communities to help tell important, untold stories.

Welcome!
You’ve landed at a digital window into my mind and my perspective.
My works are inspired by my life. Life is full of curiosity and phenomena.
It is full of the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful.
No matter the case,
it is nothing short of a blessing for me to experience life – let alone document it as I see it – and then share some of those feelings with others.
Perhaps more important, I hope I can help tell the stories that need to be shared with the World.
Additionally, I aim to inspire others to live their life to the fullest,
and chase their Purpose without compromising their Peace.
May Peace, Love, and Positivity be with you all on your journey.
