My name is Hyun Jo Choi. I am an immigrant from South Korea, having moved to the United states early in my life.
Growing up here in Maryland, sports was my way of assimilating to the community around me, during a time when I did not feel like I fit in anywhere. Basketball and soccer were my way of connecting to people and building long lasting, meaningful relationships.
I was encouraged by my family to use a camera to immortalize special moments in my life, a practice that I really nurtured in my adult years. That love for photography, combined with my fascination with sports, prompted me to begin my journey as a sports photographer.
I have been blessed to continue to meet people from all walks of life, all pursuing excellence as athletes, media personnel, coaching and development staff, or just anybody working in the same venue as me. Picking up a camera was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life.
I've covered all levels of sports, from grassroots to professional. These include the NCAA, WNBA, NWSL, MLS, as well as U.S. Soccer international competitions.
I'm available for any projects and assignments. Let's connect, let's work.
