The first thing Wonho could remember asking for when he was a child was a reusable camera for his seventh birthday. It was simple and affordable, but he used it up until it could no longer process the pictures correctly. He didn't take mind-blowingly beautiful pictures of course, but it had become obvious to his parents after years of using the camera and hanging up his favorite pictures on the walls of his bedroom that this little hoby of his might continue for quite some time.
At first his parents were hesitant with his choice of career. It wasn't exactly a well-paying job but they probably didn't imagine him ever taking this career to this extreme or becoming someone others took seriously. While his friends didn't take him very seriously (which was understandable because none of them really acting like anything but immature young men around one another) those he worked with were usually respectful, But of course they would be, their jobs were on the line.

Eventually his parents decided that their negativity and hesitation about Wonho's career wouldn't actually be productive and so, at the age of seventeen he was gifted his first professional camera and he went nuts. He went on what he liked to call a mini-expedition around Korea, taking photos of the people and the scenery. A few scholarships and contests later and Wonho found himself getting offers from achool, agencies even magazines- none of them were HUGE but he knew when he opened the first letter about an offer that he was doing something right which led to his current state.

A few weeks ago Wonho received a call from a 'Miss Kim'. He could tell, even iver the phone, that she was a prideful woman, dignified and paimfully straightforward but she also kept it professional. The type of person anyone would respect but still somewhat disliked because of her get down. Anyway, she'd called about a week or so in advance to get a day of Wonho's time for the model she'd managed, a Hyungwon? Something like that, and Wonho gladly accepted. It wasn't often that he got a request for a shoot for legitimate models to simply sport clothing but he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the Mouth.

The shoot wasn't due to start until 8:30 and he promptly arrived at six, as per requested by Ms.Kim so that they could talk things over in person and get a solid understanding of what was expected out of the shoot. In person she seemed a lot less uptight, confrontational- less intimidating but enough so to keep Wonho on his toes.

Unlike those whos job was to work on the model and how he presented him Wonho had almost completely blocked out the commotion within the room and it wasn't brought to his attention that he needed to wrap up his own preparations which Wonho liked to take his time on and wouldn't cut short or speed up for anyone- especially if he was going to have to direct others with helping with lighting, poses etc. These were all crucial elements to a shoot and if the Photographer wasn't comfortable in the environment, the model wouldn't be comfortable. He woulf ensure that if his set wasnt how he would like it that anyone involved would make sure that the next time it would be. He could be a snob like that. Fortunately he has only had to act out once and being that the model had arrived less than ten minutes ago and he was wrapping it up, all would be well.
