Testimonials

"I have had the pleasure of working with Janis for a number of years. He truly has a gift. When we first started working together, I felt the need to show him exactly which photographs I wanted taken. I have since learned better, he is able to find beauty from perspectives I didn't know existed. It is always a treat to sit down with him after a photo shoot and see the world through his lens."

"Janis approaches each shoot with the curiosity of a child; eager to meet and become familiar with his subject.  This relationship, coupled with his relentless pursuit for perfection in his imagery, forever captures the heart and very essence of our projects."

“Janis is my absolute favorite photographer! His use of light (and climbing rope) is amazing! You can always tell which photos he took, because people always say ‘ooh, that's a cool shot.’"

After twenty years of dealing with difficult hotel photographers, Janis is a breath of fresh air. He has a great eye for balancing a room layout and arranging the right light to enhance the look of the room or space. His "can do" spirit makes the time spent on the photo-shoot a pleasure, rather than a drudgery.
