“It’s a feeling that I’m after —whether photographing a person or a place—of knowing that I caught a glimpse of silence and stillness so beautiful it only existed for that fleeting moment. This process gives me a sense of understanding of the people and places around me and how we’re connected through the nuances of humanity. In the space between my camera and my subjects, there’s a great sense of intimacy and vulnerability in which you’ll see the subjects for who and what they truly are.

My decade-long project with Daniel Johnston was that and more. He was a subject I wanted to study and capture repeatedly, as a fan and friend, each shoot a different experience. It was the most heavy, complicated, and excruciatingly beautiful project I’ve ever poured my heart into where we were both vulnerable at all times. The result is an extensive and poignant study of an extraordinary artist.” -Jung Kim

Born in Seoul, South Korea, Jung began her photography and printing studies at age 14 and fell in love with film and the darkroom. Jung attended Parsons School of Design in New York where she began photographing her musician and artist friends. While working as a photo research editor at magazines such as VOGUE, Jung spent most evenings in her neighborhood music venues on the Lower East Side where she discovered and photographed indie musicians and bands, often joining them on the road. Her most notable collaboration is with the legendary musician and artist Daniel Johnston, who she documented from 2008 to 2019. She was the subject of two photography books: here (2013) and IS ALWAYS (2023), both launching at SXSW. Jung resides in Brooklyn, New York.
