Photograph is not taken, they are created
 

Jun Tagai

Photographer

 

From the quiet alchemy of the darkroom in his youth, his journey into photography was sparked by the interplay of light and shadow, mystery and revelation.

 

Recognized early for his evocative vision, he earned numerous accolades before embarking on a professional path in 2001 as a visual storyteller.

His work dances on the edge of intimacy, capturing the tender subtleties of human connection while immersing viewers in the poetic ambience of a fleeting moment.

 

With a profound sensitivity to natural light, his images transcend the frame, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary—a luminous tapestry of emotion and atmosphere.
