Hi!
I'm Hannah Yoon (she/her) and I’m a Korean Canadian freelance photographer based in Philadelphia, PA with a focus on portraiture, documentary and photojournalism work.
While studying sociology and psychology in college, I became interested in social justice and racial justice issues. Before becoming a photographer, I lived two years in Seoul, South Korea teaching English and exploring the country. Through photography, I want to better understand why we are the way we are and how everything is connected.
I am a proud member of Women Photograph, Diversify Photo and founding board member of the Authority Collective. I am part of these groups as a photographer because I want to see equity in the photo industry. I also serve as a jury member for the Tom Hanson Photojournalism Award, an award for emerging Canadian photojournalists.
During the pandemic, I started a bookstagram account (features books + photography). Beyond photography, I love making Korean food, watching K-dramas and climbing.
I recently became a first-time mom in 2022 and am exploring what it means to be a mom while also freelancing.
