The Freindliest Cats

• Location: HaHoe Folk Village, South Korea

I’ve always considered myself a dog person, but these cats almost had me reconsidering! During our road trip around South Korea, we visited Hahoe Folk Village and decided to hike up a nearby mountain for a panoramic view. We drove as far up as we could, and as we stepped out, we were greeted by an unexpected surprise—a group of the friendliest cats. They followed us up the trail, asking only for a little attention in return.

Photographing these cats turned out to be a rewarding challenge. The low-light setting, combined with their constant movement, required quick thinking and adaptability. It was one of those moments where I felt I truly knew my way around a camera, capturing the playful spirit of these unexpected companions.
