David Guttenfelder has been documenting North Korea since 2000 but it hasn't been until recently (February) that he's really been able to
capture the country with unfettered restriction.
No one puts their hand in front of my camera, and no one tells me not to shoot things. There’s no review process. They don’t look at my pictures at all before I send them on the Associated Press wire or my Instagram account. Facebook even asks me to tag my “friends†Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung when I upload my photos.
Unsurprisingly, the photos often have a
vintage vibe due to some antiquated tech. There's plenty of
beautiful scenes as well but it's so strange that it's such an undocumented place.
