The July issue of GENIC features "That's why I photograph people"

The most familiar and yet most difficult subject to photograph is the ever-changing "people." The chemical reaction between photographer and subject creates unexpected scenes, resulting in a one-of-a-kind shot that can never be captured again. Because they capture an irreplaceable moment, photos of "people" are filled with a lot of emotion. Discover many stories that will make you cry, laugh, and empathize. This issue has an extra 32 pages in this special feature that will make even those who don't usually take photos of people want to take them and discover the charm of taking photos of people.
