Stand on a narrow stone alley in Bukchon as late-afternoon light slides across gray tile roofs and the photographer directs a candid moment by a hanok gate. In an hour the city rearranges itself: palace courtyards give way to gritty Euljiro backstreets, then a quick transfer delivers a skyline frame with Namsan Tower rising behind rooftop glass.
