About Eric Kim
Eric Kim is a California based international street photographer. He has been shooting street photography for over 9 years and started a blog to share his work and lessons learned in response to the lack of information and resources he found when starting out. Today Eric is so active in the social media and blogging world that it is virtually impossible to miss him. He pours his heart and soul into serving the street photography community at large and teaches workshops internationally.
Hmmm, Eric's posts on petapixel.com often border on the nonsensical, and his images - high contrast, no composition, seem very stereotypical "Street photography" to me. Maybe I'm bias, I feel like street photography is the new hdr.
