Taemin Ha - Süü

An intimate glimpse into everyday life in Mongolia, captured through portraits of children and evolving landscapes that reflect the passage of the seasons. Like a joyful window opened onto the rural life of Mongolian nomads, Taemin Ha’s photographs tell, above all, the story of an encounter. After spending several months with a family on the Mongolian plains, he captures the rhythms of their communal daily life. Portraits of children unfold through the seasons: sovereigns of these vast rural landscapes, they embody a profound sense of freedom, intimately connected to nature and the animals around them. A peaceful softness radiates from his images, where the bright light of spring and summer follows the hushed, enveloping atmosphere of snowy winters. Light—ever-present in Taemin Ha’s work—seems to guide each scene: whether gently filtering through the window of a yurt or bathing children’s games in clear lakes, it accompanies every gesture, every gaze.
