Korea Up Close

Photographic Encounters by Foreign Observers

This is a book that focuses on the foreigner’s perspective of their lives and aspects in and of Korea that Korean people normally disregard in their daily lives. Through diverse and dynamic images of Korea and appealing accounts of the Korean environment—customs, food, sights, traditions, or merely daily affairs, foreign contributors have plaited a book that is quite unique. Less than a memoir, more than a passage, their stay in Korea is memorable to all the readers through this chirpy but observant narrative. Be enthralled by the reactions of foreign nature that is stirred by the Korean touch. Around 24 contributors participated in sharing their images and experiences in Korea, all compiled by Craig White.
