Home, Sweet Home on Jeju Island with @_jeje

After years of living in cities like Seoul and Tokyo, sisters Ji Sook and Ji Young Heo (@_jeje) returned to Jeju Island off the southern coast of South Korea, three years ago. “We realized the same thing: our hometown is the most amazing place in the world,” says Ji Young, who, like her sister, works as a commercial photographer. “We could only notice by going to a foreign country.” The sisters’ dreamy photos of this idyllic island — which often feature each other, or models — were recently made into a book. “We drive all day to find the best spots to take our pictures — the sea, forest, mountains, farms, flowers and animals.”

Before becoming photographers, the sisters both pursued visual careers: Ji Sook studied oil painting and then worked as a color psychology counselor, while Ji Young studied Japanese painting and worked as a curator at an art museum. “We have sensitive eyes; a different approach to color. Especially Ji Sook,” Ji Young says. “But that is not strange, considering her job.”

Perhaps photography was always their destiny. “We grew up under the influence of our grandparents,” Ji Sook says. “They were both photographers.”
