Hi, I am Manyi Mangwin.
The Vision
I am an internationally published photographer and a soon-to-be graduate of the University of Florida. My journey with the lens actually began long before I picked up a camera; it started with watching my mother. As a photographer herself, she showed me how to navigate the world through a lens, and seeing the joy her work brought to others inspired me to find my own eye for detail.
From Seoul to Florida
My professional path took a definitive turn during my sophomore year of college while living abroad in Seoul, South Korea. At twenty-one years old, I had the incredible opportunity to shoot for the Korean activewear brand, Positive Me. That work was eventually featured on a billboard in one of South Korea’s premier locations: The Hyundai Trade Center.
Since returning to the States, I have served as the Asst. Visual Coordinator for the University of Florida College of Journalism, where I honed my technical skills and professional workflow.
What I Do
What started in the streets of Seoul has branched out into a diverse professional portfolio. I specialize in:
- Events & Portraits: Documenting the milestones that matter most.
- Studio Photography: Precision lighting and creative direction.
- Sports & Action: Capturing high-stakes movement and energy.
Let’s Work Together
Whether it’s a high-profile commercial shoot or a personal!
