hi, i’m jana!

i’m a full-time freelance photographer & videographer with a focus on portrait, branding, lifestyle & documentary.

’i’m inspired by all things visual, textual, body movement, light, space, colors, and love to inhale everything around me. 

photography to me is a way of constantly discovering, revealing and describing the beauty that’s within everyone and everything i come into contact with. my work is on the documentary, emotional and natural side of the photography spectrum; i’m looking for the tenderness, the calm, the courage and, every so often, the lovely absurdity of humanness. i love the unseen and in-between, but also the dressed up & fully staged.

i’m a native german, fluent in english and french.

working digitally and on (mostly medium format) film, i’m obsessed with both the production and the postproduction process -  the human connection above everything else; the ever-changing opportunities and challenges that light and space create; as well as the color developing science and retouching afterwards. being a 500hr yoga teacher, i have a special connection to communication, movement and perspective. i love working and constantly chasing the next thing to do, yet the things that ground me down are actually quite simple. i love to paint, read, write, move, look at things (that are not my screen). 

are we a match?
