As winter fades and spring arrives, have you ever thought about joining a group of photography enthusiasts, bringing your beloved camera to Korea to capture cherry blossoms? This time, the Fever Photo Travel Channel teams up with the Korea Tourism Organization and two travel photography experts — Henry Lo from Travel.Photography and Eddie Kwong from Eddie Images — to unravel the art of flower photography together. They will share tips on equipment for cherry blossom photography, composition, as well as hands-on experience and insights, so you can be better prepared when capturing these blooms.

Every year in mid-March, cherry blossoms first bloom in Jeju, the southernmost part of Korea, followed by Busan, South Gyeongsang Province, Seoul, and Gyeonggi Province, gradually transforming the areas into seas of pink. Due to varying light exposure across different regions, the beauty of "Korean cherry blossoms" can be seen from mid-March to April.
Henry was the instructor for our Busan Cherry Blossom Photography Class last year; the photo shown is a work by his student Victor.
Last year’s Busan Cherry Blossom Photography Class yielded many great shots; the photo shown is a work by another of Henry’s students, Joanna.
Eddie’s flower photography works
During the event, Henry and Eddie will introduce flower photography techniques, including diagonal composition, reflection shots, depth of field use, light control, and dense framing. At the same time, the two experts will also share their travel experiences in Korea and analyze various photography works. There are limited spots for this lecture — don’t miss out if you’re interested in cherry blossom photography and traveling in Korea.
