About

After receiving a Master’s degree in photojournalism from the University of Missouri in 2003, Jean Chung, a native of Seoul, South Korea, returned to Seoul from the U.S. to pursue her goal of working as an international photojournalist. During her three-year stay in Seoul, she covered various news events and generated photo stories extensively in Asia and the Middle East.

She spent the past year in Afghanistan and focused on issues such as education, women’s rights, and social changes.

Her work has been featured in various publications such as Newsweek, The Los Angeles Times, Stern, Der Spiegel, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Time Asia, French GEO, Vanity Fair (Italy) and Boston Globe.

On Sept. 6, 2007, she received the Grand Prix Care International du Reportage Humanitaire of Visa pour l’Image Photo Festival in Perpignan, France, for her documentation of maternal mortality:
“Afghanistan: Qamar’s Story.”

Place to crash in Tokyo

Hi Tokyo Stalkers! I am coming over to Tokyo from Fri (11/30) to next Wed (12/5) for the screening at Tokyo Met Museum of Photography this weekend, and I need a place to couch-crash. If you guys offer me the place, it’ll be great. Also I hope to see some of you if you’d like to hang on the weekend. Hope to hear from you and sorry for the short notice!
