A Korean third-culture kid, Hahn grew up between Singapore and Cambodia, and never imagined he'd become a professional photographer.

Instead, Hahn moved to the US at the age of twenty, studied economics at NYU, and, shortly after, got a job in tech.
Entirely self-taught, now and then, Hahn would shoot wedding photos or portraits for friends, but it wasn't until eight years ago, when he paid off his student loans, that he decided to try his luck as a full-time photographer.
