Commercial look into the Everyday...






Most Asians like things in groups or in masses...
they like following trends and looking high in society... (the LV bags and the Gucci, Burberry etc)
it makes me wonder if the internet has anything to do with this spreading disease of popular mass taste... does that even make sense?

anyway... in a way they really exceed in aesthetics.
one thing i am really interested and suprised in is the trend in photography.
There is at least 1 photo studio in every neighborhood in korea for taking family photos.

The asian studio was always a little different from the western studios.
In western studio's they would have boxes they use as chairs and cover the boxes with drapes.
In an asian studio they would have a big sturdy and pretty looking chair where the mother and father sits and the rest of the family would stand behind them... this is your typical korean family portrait hung up on every living or lounge room....

HOWEVER, things have bling bling-ed since a couple of years.
there are newer studio's with interior and exterior set designs.
If you thought that this could only happen in the movies or in commercial industry, its not any more. Normal everyday people are utalising the new studio's with pretty and aesthetic set up interiors. The aura of the location definately has aesthetic qualities and makes you feel more special... they are being used more for wedding shoots now.. but... i think this will become the norm for future photo studio's.

The change of interior, and the detail of props, the colour and texture of the walls...
they emit ultra cool waves of aesthetic aura.

this is really an interesting aspect... of finding and connecting with space and the aura of what you see from two dimension photographs to actually being emersed in the true atmosphere...
