Frens x Noealz - Open Editions

When people think of Korea, Gangnam often comes to mind as a lively and bustling area where one can easily get caught up in the excitement of the night. It's a place where you're unlikely to find a moment of peace if you visit. Thinking of dynamic environments, there's another name that comes to mind - Mac. I've known him through social media for years, well before the emergence of NFTs. We both possess the talent for bringing our photos to life through animation, albeit with distinct styles. For some time now, I've been curious about what we could create together, and that opportunity has finally arrived. Through his perspective, we can now explore Seoul in a whole new light.

A bit more about this piece, it  was taken one rainy evening in Gangnam, South Korea. I thought very long about how two photographers can collaborate on a piece, as it is not easy. We thought about both editing a single photo, or layering different photos and then editing together. In the end, the best decision was to edit a picture of mine with his editing style. I think it worked out perfectly. You cannot tell from this picture, but the woman walking in the photo was actually quite drunk and swerving all over the alley, perfectly encapsulating Gangnam and the Korean way of life.
