Jee Su Kim is a South Korean visual storyteller whose works encompass a wide range of mediums, including documentary photography, fine art photography (incorporating mixed media, composite imagery, and staged photography), film/videography, and artist books. She goes beyond documenting literal representations by blending her subjective vision to create more emotionally evocative images through symbolic and abstract imagery.

Growing up in a multicultural background, her challenges with finding a sense of belonging enabled her to channel isolation and otherness into a source of empowerment. She does so by giving agency to her photographed subjects, at times herself, who are carefully staged in an ordinary background to convey a certain story or emotion while preserving the documentary elements of her photographs. She seeks to highlight the mundane by blurring the lines between reality and illusion to create an intimate and emotional experience with the viewer by allowing them to interact with the subjects photographed.

​

As a graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), holding a BFA in Photography and a minor in Film, she is currently serving as the Artistic Operations Manager at the Atlanta Photography Group (APG) Gallery. With the passion for photography and fine art overall, she aspires to learn more in depth about gallery spaces, curation and how to shape and execute artistic projects as a fine art photographer herself.
