Karlkanitrunk (Chiho Lee, 1997)

Karlkanitrunk is a photographer interested in capturing the candid and unembellished moments of reality. 

Rather than staging, his practice seeks to reveal moments as they are.

His work spans fashion brand photography, party and street snapshots, and artist album covers, always focusing on framing life as it happens.

His thoughts and work are informed by an ongoing reflection on the relationship between reality and its representation, and how individuals exist in society. 

Through photography, he persistently seeks to express these ideas through his work.
