The Nomad Within: Wonders of Asia Exhibition in Ulsan
Peter DeMarco is an extremely talented photographer based out of Busan. He is the first foreigner to ever win the Busan Tourism Photo Contest and not to mention he has also achieved a Merit Award from the National Geographic Photography Contest as well. Suffice it to say that his photos are amazing!
Earlier this month IUM Art Space Gallery opened up next to Pop Factory in Dal-dong (near Samsandong). Their first exhibition is Peter’s. I personally think that this was an amazing choice, not only having an accomplished foreign photographer for their first exhibition, but also a photographer that shows the beauty of Asia using different subjects.

His photos at this exhibition cover a wide range of subjects from urban Korea to desert landscapes. His photos are colourful and well presented. Also note that this gallery is free to all and the IUM Art Space Gallery is a wonderful and well designed space. Definitely worthwhile to check out.
