BIOGRAPHY
Ki Ho Park's photographs - Past in Pictures

Ki Ho Park's Photographs were full of News - the Latest and powerful. Today - They are stunning record of the sharpen of our presents. Over 10 years, the pictures taken by Ki Ho Park made living into art itself, and the public thus love him for it. Year after year, month after month, his photographs have remained signature, often an inspiration for his contemporaries.

This portfolio-represent only a small portion of the hundreds of thousands of photographs were published since his introduction in 1985. But even in brief, they signal a distinct, finest tradition.
Through his photographs, our vision of the world expanded to include people, place and ideas that everyone didn't already know but should. He introduced us to people who ran distant social circles across east across west and in between.

From the start, Ki Ho Park has sought after the truth in life. His graduating thesis at Rhode island School of Design showed his early understanding of compassion. Whomever and wherever his subjects were, such as his early works of refugees in Thailand and that search for reunion with relatives, Ki Ho Park made suure that nowhere would those dreams come truer than in his photographs.

Ki Ho Park's turning point came while he worked at the Magnum photo agency in New York. In New York, he saw through the eyes of Bruce Davidson, Cartier Bresson and other Magnum photographers whose work was published for fact for audiences too a custumed to seeing the good (not enough bad). With Bruce Davidson Ki Ho Park discovered the wonder of painting B&W and color works for his archieve as well as the subway book for New York. With Bruce Davidson Ki Ho Park work grew to know how to conjure insightful images for photography whatever the subject was. This Experience was his finest asset.

Today Ki Ho Park shoots regularly to such demanding clients as AT&T, Businessweek, Fortune, Forbes, Sam Sung and Deawoo. His compassion and sensitive eyes for visual perception has earned him reputation that clients come back year after year.
