Ahn Sang-Soo is a major figure in graphic design, at least in his native Korea. But he is also known as the author of 2000 "one-eyed" photographs. They are "one-eyed" because everyone who is depicted in the pictures looks at you with one eye. Of course, they also have a second eye, but the photographer and the models did their best to not be seen in the photo.
Photos of Korean graphic designer Ahn Sang-Soo really catch our attention with their originality. They are common and unusual at the same time. They are common in that they depict ordinary people in everyday situations: these are designers, poets, teachers, students, students, artists, officials, just families, friends, and many, many, other people. But the photographs are unusual because all 2000 people pose in front of the camera, covering one of their eyes, either right or left, with a hand, a book, a sheet, a folder, just any other suitable object for this.
Such is the “one-eyed” element with which the photographer Ahn Sang-Soo diversified his photographs, makes his works interesting and memorable, which one would like to discuss and show to friends and acquaintances, or even simply repeat the author's experiment among the people of his environment. After all, you always want to have a collection of cool photos in your own photo album.
