Biography
Photographer Kim Yong-ho creates mysterious and surreal images by crossing the boundaries between commercial and fine art, forming a 'photolanguage' and communicating with the public through various works. He has tried various advertising and portrait photography and served as the president of the Korean Fashion Photographers Association. Along with his fashion (Vogue, Bazaar, Elle) and advertising photography, his artistic works such as '피안(연)’, ‘매화’, '몸(대림미술관)', '신여성(모단 걸)' are also attracting attention. The 'Famous Artists of Korean Culture and Art' exhibition, which uses only facial expressions and hand gestures, began with Nam June Paik and Seo Bo Park, and continues with Lee O Young. He has worked on corporate images that create new values for companies, such as Hyundai Card's ‘Elegant Life’, Hyundai Motor Company's ‘절차탁마, 브릴리언트 마스터피스’, KT's ‘Beautiful New World’, LG Electronics' ‘Made in Changwon’, and directed the movie de Vermis Seoulis.
