XIU KIM

Hello, I’m XIU KIM, a visual director and photographer based in Seoul. Over the past few years, I’ve worked across diverse contexts—spaces, brands, and people—focusing not just on what is shown, but how it is seen. From commercial projects to personal series, I seek to capture the quiet distinctiveness of every subject.
