Flash Parker Photography:
My Blog | On Facebook | Flash Light Photography Expeditions | The Ubiquitous Kimchi
I am a professional screenwriter, author and travel photographer. I've sold four scripts and had one novel published. Not sure if any of them are any good, though my mother is a fan. My stories and photographs have been published in magazines and newspapers in Canada, USA, Korea, Singapore and more.
I'm Canadian and just completed a two year stint living and working In South Korea. Korea is fun, but brutally cold in the winter and oppressive in the summer. I've found a new happy medium in San Francisco. I now like wine, too.

NateVenture says:
"Although Shawn and I worship at different altars, he at the stobist pagoda and I at the rangefinder monastery, we share a common vision and a love for travel. I shoot the world the way it is, Shawn flashes the world into subservience one well placed strobe at a time until the world is what it should be. Although always authentic his photos are better than reality. Despite being Canadian he probably won't steal your soul, but I make no promises. Don't ever trust him to read a map, even if he holds it right-side up.
I met Shawn almost by chance, but we were destined for friendship from the beginning. We began an illiadic tour of South Korea and managed to see more in a week than most people see in a lifetime. We shared stories of Sean Penn douchebaggery and Korean crusades. Mr. Flash has an eye for photography like no one else I know. He manages to be creative in environments I'd find stale. That is a skill few have. The cruelty of the situation is that photography is not what he's best at. He's also an excellent writer. His clever mantra always leaves me with a smile on his face. From angry ajima to the roughest of the rough, Russian hookers Shawn is someone I'd always like to be with when I hear the words, "Hey you, you vant SEXXXXX?""25th April, 2011

"Flash is more than just a phenomenal photographer, he is also a genuinely incredible person. While most professional photographers hold tightly to their methods or seek to profit from them, Mr. Parker openly shares his exif data, strobist info and filter tips. He hasn't been in the photography world very long, but the great strides and achievements he has made in that short time are truly amazing.
I am extremely proud to call him both a friend and an inspiration."24th February, 2011
