Dongmin Kim is an Art Business graduate from Sotheby's Institute of Art, class of 2020. She currently works at Artlogic, the leading art technology company that designs and develops tech solutions for art galleries and art fairs, whilst running her own photography business on the weekends.

She initially began building her photography career for clients in theatre but eventually found many similarities between the theatrical physicality of rugby and fast-paced musicals and ballets.
When she's not at Artlogic or hefting her camera around rugby stadiums, she can be found wild-swimming, perusing artisan bakeries and Nigerian art. Originally from South Korea, Dongmin has worked and studied in Munich, Los Angeles, Seoul and London.
