Background

About Joohee Na

I am a visual communicator and scholar exploring the intersection of society, stories and culture to amplify diverse narratives. I was born in South Korea and currently based in New York. I like to take a dynamic approach to storytelling through a range of mediums including photography, journalistic writing, videography and social media marketing. My research, authored both domestically and internationally, focuses on social issues that informs my visual work, deepening its impact and cultural relevance. I have worked for various companies such as USA Today, GNC, Turnberry Associates, NewsHouse and Orange Television Network. My award-winning photography has been recognized by the Hearst Photojournalism II Competition and the Jeff Licata Photography Award and I am also a recipient of the Lorraine Branham Scholarship. I am a graduate of Syracuse University, earning a dual degree in B.S. Photography from S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and B.A. Sociology from Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.
