While studying photography at London College of Communication, Juno began taking pictures of herself disguised as a character named Joyce, secretly taking shots in her grandma's house. In 2015 Juno took Joyce to a romantic themed hotel in America for a series of work entitled, The Honeymoon. Posing as a travel writer, Juno gained access to multiple rooms which she used to stage her series of solitary self-portraits. For her latest project, What to do With A Million Years, Juno staged photographs in a mansion built underneath Las Vegas in the 70s as a shelter from nuclear terror, and currently owned by a mystery group attempting to achieve immortality.
