About Us

OUR MISSION
We can look back at our photos
and see the places where we grew up
the places we've gone to
and friends we met along the way
These are the visual records of our life
we often lose sight in the marathon of the everyday
but in the end, it was those daily
mundane moments that mattered most
The beauty of life is truly in the ordinary
"Real life" isn’t captured
in posed pictures with perfect outfits
it’s in all the little moments in between
Years from now, it's these moments
that we will yearn to remember and relive forever
We strive to create images that capture
the unique individual stories that unfolds everyday.

Capturing Life, Creating Moments
The way we live
The path we walk
The rhythm of the everyday
The beauty of simply being
A photographer
devoted to capturing the poetry of your life
A Message from Jun
The way you think
The way you feel
The way you preserve
It can change the course of our lives
It can even change the course of history
Lives you never lived
How it is, and how it could be
Photograph can move us forward
It's not just pictures
It's what you create that matter the most
