New York Times Publication - Post Olympics
Last weekend, I traveled to the Pyeongchang area in South Korea to shoot a report for a story looking at the impact of the 2018 Olympics. For this story, we looked at facilities but also local businesses. The full article can be found here. More unpublished photos below
I am available for editorial assignment in South Korea.
Abandonned Ski Resort near the South Korean Olympics
The 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics opened on February 9th. As South Korea just spent 600 million euros on a brand new winter resort, we need only travel one hour North of the new site to find the previous Alps Resort, brutally abandoned 12 years ago. An eerie place that lets one wonder about the fleeting legacy of the Olympic games.
Here is a selection of large format photograph taken in this site as well as a drone video footage of the resort
Those image and a wilder selection of digital ones are available for editorial usage upon request, please get in touch with timfranco@gmail.com. All drone footages are also available.
