CURRENT EXHIBITION

Michaels Photographic Gallery proudly presents – “Proximity” by Eric Kim

Eric Kim is an internationally-acclaimed street photographer currently based in Los Angeles. Kim has lead workshops all around the world – helping people overcome their fear of shooting street photography and teaching how to capture meaningful street photographs. Having studied sociology at UCLA , Kim is particularly interested in capturing images that juxtapose people against their surroundings in society.

Eric Kim’s ‘Proximity’ exhibition is a compilation of street photography images shot from
around 1 meter away from subjects, or closer. Though controversial, Kim’s philosophy professes that only physical closeness can achieve emotional closeness with one’s subjects. When viewing these images Kim invites you to try feel as if you are there in the scene—being an active participant, rather than a voyeur simply looking in.

Exhibition Dates: Friday April 6th – Monday May 28th
