MEET THE TEAM
Kira Bucca - Founder and Editor in Chief of Jejune Magazine
As a passionate fashion photographer and humanitarian, Jejune Magazine was the perfect excuse to merge the two parts of her personality. Here she can celebrate others who are passionate about social causes in a beautiful way.
While Kira is New York City based, her fashion, beauty, advertising and photo journalistic photography can be seen all over the world, with her traveling as often as possible. She is known for her moody iconic editorial style, that pulls the viewer into the image and celebrates its frozen moment in time.
When she is not working on Jejune or shooting fashion, she is often seen upside down or climbing something, as she is an avid competitive pole dancer. She also works with an amazing volunteer organization, House of the Roses, to teach second chance kids in the city how to dance.
