What Jérémie does

Jérémie Jung is a French documentary photographer operating as a sole proprietorship from Bagnolet in the Île-de-France region. Founded professionally in 2013 when his work began to be represented by the agency Signatures, maison de photographes, he produces long-term documentary photography projects centered on cultural identities in the Baltic region and adjacent geographies — notably Estonian island communities (Kihnu), the Setomaa borderland between Estonia and Russia, Dagestanese tightrope walkers, and Greenland's Whiteland series. He was trained at the École des Métiers de l'Information - Centre de Formation des Journalistes (EMI-CFD, Paris, 2011) and holds a degree from the Faculté des Arts Plastiques de Strasbourg (2002).

The core product is the photography itself — editorial commissions, limited-edition photobooks, and exhibition prints — with no proprietary technology beyond professional camera equipment and a Visura-hosted portfolio website. Revenue is generated through three streams: direct-to-consumer sales of limited-edition books and prints via jeremie.eu (for example, the €15 hand-bound 'Au seuil d'un printemps' lockdown book, first edition of 100 copies); editorial assignment fees from publications such as National Geographic, GEO, and The Washington Post; and exhibition, festival, and award income from venues including the Musée d'Orsay, Rencontres d'Arles, Visa pour l'image, and Photoville NYC. A book publishing partnership with Imogene Editions ('Au Large du Temps', April 2018) extends the commercial product line.

The go-to-market combines institutional exhibition programming as top-of-funnel visibility, earned editorial media coverage as mass exposure, agency representation by Signatures for mid-funnel commercial assignments, and a personal website shop as bottom-of-funnel conversion for individual collectors. Customers are split between enterprise accounts (major publications, museums, festivals) and individual collectors purchasing limited editions, with shipping offered across France, internationally, and via local pickup in Paris.
