Simon (Jonghyun) Kim is a photographer based in Vancouver, Canada.

Born in South Korea and lived across Korea, the US, Abu Dhabi, and Canada, he carries a Third Culture perspective that shapes how he sees light, space, and human connection. His work often explores how people and their environments interact, finding quiet geometry and fleeting emotion in everyday scenes.

Simon’s approach to photography is rooted in observation, studying how light moves, how a city breathes, and how stillness and chaos coexist. Each frame is both documentation and reflection, tracing the subtle narratives that unfold in public spaces and distant places alike.

Alongside his creative work, Simon serves as an Editor at STADE Magazine, a travel publication celebrating the people, places, and pursuits that inspire people to explore. He also leads @busycreatives, a Vancouver-based creator community that brings photographers and filmmakers together through photowalks and collaborative events. As a Fujifilm X Creator, he shares practical inspiration, creative insights, and everyday shooting perspectives for fellow Fujifilm photographers.
