BEHIND THE LENS...

Madison Kali Jung

 

Hi, I’m Madison, a photographer and artist originally from Charleston, South Carolina, now on the North Shore of Oʻahu.


I grew up spending most of my time surrounded by barrier islands, tidal creeks, and the ocean—an environment that deeply shaped the way I see and connect with the world. That early relationship with water continues to influence both my life and my work.


I studied at the College of Charleston, where I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts and developed a strong foundation in photography and visual storytelling. After graduating, I moved to Hawaiʻi to pursue sailing, surfing, freediving,  in water photography, and ocean-influenced art.


My work is drawn to honest moments, clean composition, and natural light that reflects the true atmosphere of a place or subject.  I work to create images that feel authentic to the people and environments they represent.
