This photographer reveals life inside North Korea:

It’s no secret that #NorthKorea is on a serious lock down, but just last week American photographe @テイラー・ペンバートン began posting shots of everyday life inside.

The 26-year-old told the @bbcnews tourists were required to declare any "communication devices" at the airport, and remained under the constant watchful eye of “tourist guides”. He goes on to explain that the guides also set wake up times, meal times and alerted him to when the day was nearing to a close.

The fascinating shots show locals playing volleyball in a square and in the midst of a mass dance prepared for the country’s Liberation Day. Pemberton gave more insight into the isolation of the country when he captioned an image of locals reading the daily printed news bulletin inside a public building, explaining, "This is the only public news I saw in #Pyongyang, where each headline and each image is a tribute to the DPRK and great leader." He also goes on to talk about how he struggled to properly engage with locals, revealing, "I felt ignored when trying to wave, smile, or interact with locals. Some people reciprocate but it was nothing like other far away cultures," adding that while there is no internet inside North Korea, there is also very little concept of what the internet is.

However subversive Pemberton’s images might appear, he persists that his images were taken from a non-judgmental place, telling the BBC, “It's easy to go into the country feeling certain about what is right and what is wrong. I feel it's also unfair for me to pass judgment on what their life may be like. It's a different world with a different framework. When all that melts away, and you are able to see the substance in the humanity, it's amazing.” The photos come just days after the announcement that the country and its southern counterpart are on the verge of war, and with Pemberton’s captions promising more images to be posted this week, his account is definitely one to keep an eye on. – words @ashleighkane h/c @bbcnews #dazedinstastory ? #regram @テイラー・ペンバートン
