Manu Gim is a fine-art landscape and documentary photographer.
Having been fascinated with art and history for as early as his memory reaches, he had followed an essentially lifelong path of an art historian, studying History and Classical Studies at UCLA, and Art History at Sorbonne University.
Upon realizing that such passion derived not only from an academic curiosity, but much more so from an instinctive desire and need for creative self-expression, he transitioned into photography and graduated from Magnum Photos x Spéos School of Photography's Creative Documentary and Photojournalism program, and discovered his visual language in abstract landscapes.
Born in Seoul, South Korea.
Raised in Los Angeles, USA.
Based in Paris, France.
