Koreatown Dreaming

“Photographer Hahn’s animated and vivid debut celebrates how Korean Americans have made their lives and livelihoods in enclaves across the country… . In snapshots paired with a brief essay about each establishment, Hahn takes a brilliant look at the resilience and ingenuity of immigrants who have battled economic hardship, racism, and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic to carve out lives for themselves in America… . This is exceptional.”–Publisher’s Weekly, Starred Review

Emanuel Hahn (he/him) is a Los Angeles-based commercial and documentary photographer/director.

His work has appeared in the New York Times, New Yorker, Atlantic, The Guardian, and more. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
