The project might have begun with their friends’ pets, but Glamour Shot soon expanded to reflect their interest in reimagining the traditional family portrait more broadly. While playing with a friend’s cat, Lee noticed its resemblance to the cutesy, soft-focus ’90s images she’d recently become obsessed with on Tumblr, and enlisted the help of Han’s lens to recreate them with a 21st-century spin. Yet even after becoming partners in life, it wasn’t until 2018 that they became partners in work, too. Given the hazy air of romance that hangs over their images, it feels strangely appropriate that the backstory to photographer Dae Woong Han and graphic designer Bora Lee’s relationship has a moment of perfect serendipity: having met many years back at a cabaret party in Euljiro, a rising creative neighborhood of northern Seoul, their current studio just happens to look out over the very club where they first locked eyes.
