[Interview] The Sajin: Korean Photography Podcast With Jason Teale

In October of 2020, I was a guest on Jason Teale’s entertaining and informative new podcast about photography in Korea, The Sajin. We had a blast talking all things image making in Korea.

The Sajin: Episode 7 – Pete DeMarco

Here are a few of Jason’s questions I answered:

  • What brought me to Asia?
  • Did my father’s photography influence me to get started taking pictures while in Korea?
  • My experience with Flickr in the early days.
  • How and why I cofounded the The Busan Lightstalkers photo club.
  • Why I like to join and host photowalks – the social elements of photography.
  • My favorite photo spots for photography in Korea: Busan, Somaemuldo, Bijindo, Tongyeong (Hallyeoseudo Marine Park), Ulleungdo, Jeju, Seogwipo, Seoraksan National Park.
  • Do I miss Korea?
  • What I’ve been up to lately, my photography workshops and outdoor photography school, The Creative Academy.

About The Sajin Photography Podcast

Jason’s photo podcast focuses on the best photo locations in South Korea, like Gyeongju, Gampo, Busan, and Seoul. Sajin means ‘photo’ in Korean.

According to Jason, The Sajin Photography Podcast centers “around creativity and storytelling from the perspective of the average photographer who is interested in Korea. This podcast will let you know where to shoot in Korea, the hidden places, and the best photographers the country has to offer!”

Jason Teale: The Ultimate Photography Guide In Korea

Each year Jason Teale (kneeling front left) hosts the Scott Kelby Photowalk, like this one in Gyeongju, Korea.

If you’re looking for someone to guide you through the photographic enigma that is South Korea, I can’t think of anyone more passionate or knowledgeable than Jason Teale.

I’m not just saying that because he’s a great friend of mine. From his Korean travel photography blog, The Sajin Podcast, and wildly popular meetups and workshops, it’s clear Jason’s passion for photography and love for Korea are genuine.

Whether you’re looking for photo tips, gear and software reviews, or info on where to go in Korea, or want to get inspired with some incredible images and cinemagraphs from The Land of The Morning Calm, Jason Teale should be your first stop!
