My name Jun (俊), written like June but without the E, symbolises heroic peace. Looking at my work, I like to think that the photographs I take reflect a sense of calm and evoke a peaceful feeling – much like my name.
I was born in Malaysia and I spent half my life growing up in a small town. At the age of 19, I received a scholarship to the UK and little did I know that I'd soon have a second place to call home.
My brother gifted me a Canon A20 when I arrived in the country and straight away I developed a fascination for all things photography; exploring every genre I can. From taking portraits of friends to photographing landscapes, macro and street photography. I was an active user on Flickr and Deviant Art back then.
Those moments marked the beginning of my photography journey and I continue to develop my craft daily as the passion and love I have for my art remains as strong as ever.
Slowly over time, I shot more portraits and I got to work with London model agencies.
My experience of photographing models, dancers and actors allowed me to incorporate those additional skills into my wedding photography.
I shot my first wedding after a friend invited me to photograph theirs. I was reluctant at first because I didn't want to restrict my work to a certain 'wedding' style however they told me I have full control and after I shot the wedding, it changed my whole perspective of wedding photography. The rest, as they say, is history.
I now live in Milton Keynes with my wife and we both love to travel and experience new cultures. Without her, I wouldn't be able to do what I love. She's always there for me and supports my dream.
Now that you've found your other half and are about to embark on a new journey, let's work together to capture these everlasting memories.
