The Friendliest Cats

• Location: HaHoe Folk Village, South Korea
• Date: 10 January, 2022

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.
