Deok Rae

Jo Deok Rae is a photographer and cinematographer whose work follows mountain environments across Asia.

For more than a decade, he has returned to alpine landscapes in Korea, Japan and the Himalaya. Working in snow, wind, altitude and rapidly changing light, he approaches each journey as part of a longer record rather than an isolated destination.

His practice moves between still photography, documentary cinematography and field observation. The resulting work considers not only the scale of a landscape, but also the tools, decisions and periods of waiting that shape how it can be recorded.
