Seoullo 7017 is an elevated pedestrian walkway crossing above Seoul Station, making it a great urban spot for fitting the city’s roads and railways, the old Seoul Station building, and surrounding towers into one frame. Because the walking route itself is elevated, your view opens up naturally, attracting photographers who want to capture the urban character around Seoul Station in clean compositions. The Seoul Station Plaza side and the Manli-dong direction each offer a different mood, so you can get varied shots in one location.
The most consistently favorable light is from around sunset through blue hour. Seoullo 7017’s night lighting comes on, while the vehicle lights and building lights around Seoul Station also come alive, making it well suited to urban nightscape shots. In the daytime, strong light creates harsh contrast on the pavement and railings, so exposure is easier to manage as the sun starts to dip than in the clear midday sun. On overcast days, the colors are less vivid, but it is easier to calmly organize the forms of pedestrians and structures.
From the Seoul Station Plaza side, layer the old Seoul Station building with the modern background to make the contrast clear. Toward Manri-dong, use the lines of the path, railings, and pedestrian flow to create leading lines. Rather than shooting from a slightly low angle, stay at eye level to capture the path stretching ahead more steadily. Around the midway viewpoints or the circular look-through structures, include the road below and surrounding buildings to build layers. If you include a person, have them stand slightly off the center line rather than at the edge of the path, and use the background perspective.
