The , organized by cizucu since the end of last year, has been held in various locations across the country. By simply submitting your photos to cizucu, you can participate in the photo poster exhibition and meet new photographer friends you haven't encountered before.

This time, we interviewed creator 김소희, who participated in the .

Hello! I’m 김소희, an amateur photographer who takes photos as a hobby.

I enjoy not just capturing beautiful landscapes but also expressing my current self through photography. Through photography, I’ve learned various emotions and found joy in expressing those emotions in the form of photos.

What attracted me the most was the opportunity to connect with creators who love photography, sharing the same space and time.

I was curious about how others would perceive my work, and I also wanted to see the wonderful works of other creators and hear their perspectives, which might differ from mine.

Above all, I found the poster exhibition format refreshing, and when I learned that the was being held in Korea for the first time, I knew I had to participate.

I truly felt, "I’m so glad I participated in this exhibition!"

First, the moment I entered the venue and saw my A2-sized work, I was overwhelmed by its size. The emotions embedded in the work were conveyed even more vividly. The print quality was also absolutely amazing!

Additionally, I was delighted to hear directly from the artists about their works. It was wonderful to hear various perspectives not only about my work but also about others’ works.

Above all, the kindness of the staff who organized the exhibition and their warm care in handling the works made the experience truly exceptional.

When I thought about the exhibition theme, "The One Photo I Want to Share," the first image that came to mind was a photo capturing "childlike innocence."

Through photography, I experience various emotions, but looking at the children in this photo reminded me of the "childlike innocence" I once felt but had forgotten amidst daily life.

I wanted others to feel the curiosity and purity of the children playing by the seaside, as well as the "childlike innocence" that we tend to forget.

I was initially just someone who enjoyed photography as a hobby, so I wondered if it was okay for me to participate in such an exhibition. But I decided to boldly take part, thinking, "If it’s a hobby I love, why not dive deeper and enjoy it to the fullest?"

Through the , I met wonderful creators, encountered various works, learned new perspectives, and had a truly valuable experience that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. I’m so glad I participated.
It seems the will also be held in Korea this November! I highly recommend it!
