For some interesting Seoul photography, head straight to Dongdaemun Design Plaza, designed by the late Zaha Hadid and Samoo.  I’d got there early morning to shoot the exterior without the crowds, then come back at night to shoot it when the lights go on. There’s loads of people around from about 6pm-930pm and later, so you can get some street style shots, and there’s also kind of a light garden, where every female is taking selfies in front off.

If you’re going to Gyeongbokgung Palace, go to the pond near Hyangwonjeong Pavilion and photograph that, it’s where you’ll see a lot of Seoul photography tours take their customers because you get the reflection in the water.  Gyeongbokgung Palace is also good to photograph at night from outside the gates, when they have the lights on.

I didn’t go there, but a mate of mine who used to run Seoul photography tours, tells me Bukchon Hanok Village is nice and not so crowded during the weekdays.  This website here gives you 8 photo spots which are supposed to be where you can get the best photos of it.

Seoul photography is pretty popular and the Visit Korea website has a list of 9 photo spots to go to.  You can check those out here.

There’s a lot of good street photography in Seoul, check out this page for some ideas and some places to get your Seoul photography groove on.  A lot of them are absolute shite but if you scroll through a bit you can find some good shots and get the location of where that photo was taken.

If you’re interested in a Seoul photography tour get a local if you can, there’s a lot of University students that are offering city tours so if you know what you’re doing with your camera they’ll be just as good to take you around.
