Hello there! I’m Cyril, an American expat based in Seoul and a photographer in my free time. I enjoy street photography, and street cats are my favorite subjects. I began taking photos of street cats in Seoul after losing my beloved cat of 12 years to cancer. As I grieved the loss, I took long meandering walks around the city. In the Seochon neighborhood known for its maze of alleys and traditional hanok houses, I encountered numerous street cats, beginning with a calico with a talent for standing straight up to receive a treat. Fascinated by their different personalities and their ability to survive, I began bringing along my camera to document the street cats of Seochon and, eventually, the street cats of other neighborhoods in the city of Seoul. I have photographed more than a hundred cats over the past year, attempting to capture their charm, mystery, and resilience throughout the four seasons.
