C.V. Sang Woo Yun Live and Works in Seoul, Korea A desolate 6,000m Pamir. The season is summer, but snowflakes fall. Young girls sit crouched by the rugged mountains in order to sell horse milk cheese, waiting for the rare car to pass by. People rush to ferries on the dark red Amazon riverside in an effort to sell palmsized carving boats and black plastic bags filled with cheap jungle food. The sight of their desperation to live made me tear up. The deep inlands where strangers cannot easily set foot - those are the lands I want to go to. It may look rough, but you meet kind people, the kind of people you prepare another journey to meet again. Even loneliness has become scenery, with the search for lost laughter in nature creating a desire to live. My travels are for comfort and peace in life. I walked with two feet, and I captured in pictures the beauty of what I saw with my own eyes. I don't want to bring up any famous photographer's aesthetic or philosophy. What I pour into my photography is the beauty my best self has chosen. Education BFA, Han Yang University, Seoul Korea

The sight of their desperation to live made me tear up.
The deep inlands where strangers cannot easily set foot - those are the lands I want
