𝒯𝒶𝓎𝑜 𝒦𝓊𝓀𝓊, 𝒥𝓇.

I photographed Jung Kook of BTS, one of the most influential cultural groups of our time, for Rolling Stone across the UK, Korea, and Japan.
An honor rooted in trust + collaboration and a milestone I don’t take lightly.
Four covers. Three countries.
These images carry so much weight beyond the frame and remind of me how far careful, patient work can travel, and the responsibility that comes with being trusted to shape stories of this scale.
Grateful for the team, the trust, and the reach of what we made together. 🙏🏿
