Hello, I am Salgu.
I am a nonbinary Korean American photographer based in San Antonio, TX and part-time in Sacramento, CA. I am available for portraits, headshots, personal branding, wedding, and event photography. I also offer nonprofit and video storytelling. I specialize on documenting the queer community from a decolonialized lens. My work has also appeared in publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and San Francisco Chronicle. Check out my editorial and documentary work here.
Testimonial
“Salgu is a joy to work with. They were able to help us craft a shot list and really helped us figure out exactly what we wanted and the photos speak for themselves. We wanted to really capture the beauty of our venue and Salgu delivered, 1000%. They were able to highlight the stunning fall colors and the golden hour lighting. They also took so many canid photos that are truly my favorite photos ever because they captured how much fun that day was for us and our guests. Salgu also worked with us to have a photobooth for our guests to enjoy and people still tell me how much they love those photos.“

“I enjoyed the experience. I appreciated your calm nature. Since I often deal with anxiety, it was nice that you did not make me feel rushed, and I felt that you were present with me in the moment. I appreciate that you took time to ask me questions and offered suggestions for fun photos that we could take. I am very happy with the photos and your talent shines through. I feel you captured me in my true self.“
