일제하 북촌의 사진관과 <경성사진사협회>의 등장

Abstract

In the history of Korean photography, there were various related photography activities right after the introduction of the photography. Besides <Cheonyeondang Sajingwan>, there were many photographers of Korean who continued the history of photography at the same time. According to the records of the present day, the photographers of the Japanese who lived in Seoul were mainly in Chungmuro ​​and Uljiro, called Namchon at that time, whereas the photographers of the Koreans operated in the area of ​​Jongno, which is called Bukchon. The reason why Jiunyoung and Hwangcheol, the pioneers of the introduction of Korean photography, first opened a workroom or photo- studio in Bukchon is closely related to their jobs of Joseon government and social status at the time. Both had a residence in Bukchon near Gyeongbok Palace, a dense area of ​​Joseon government offices, and opened a photo-studio here. This is why Bukchon was the starting point of Korean photography history. Between the 1900s and the 20s, there was no photo activity of our own, and it was known that photography and visual culture were led by Japanese photographers and their culture in Namchon which is a symbol of Japanese colonial rule. However, Korean photographers opened the photo-studios in Bukchon, which was a symbol and center of resistance to the Japanese imperialism, and developed a photographic culture. <Kyungseongsajinsahyuphoe> was an organization founded in 1926, centered on photographers operating in Bukchon. This paper is a study of the process and cultural historical achievements.
