About the Project and the Exhibition

Let’s get started!

To visualize an idea by taking a photograph adds a second level of information to your presentation that goes far beyond the written or spoken word. It focuses the viewer’s attention, triggers emotion and polarizes. Creating a photograph that lives up to your idea will take time and patience. Let’s sit down, have a coffee or two and talk about it. We’ll figure it out!

At home Outdoors
As the Population of this beautiful planet keeps growing cities get more and more crowded. The great wide open is where people are headed on their day off. Not everybody gets to go everywhere. Let’s take them on an adventure!
People
Talking about Faces!
Taking a portrait is something very personal. It’s about trust, about perceiving the very right moment and about respect and empathy. You have to know the boundaries and sometimes you have to cross them.
Editorial
Don't sell a product, tell a story!
If words are all you have to describe your idea it’s hard to live up to it. Go ahead and add some imagery. Photographs can tell a whole story within a split second. Keep it simple!
Taking the Outdoors in

I have been many places. Inside the box ain't one of them.

If you start working on a new project you start with an urge: you have something on your mind you want to share with the world. Maybe you have a plan on how to present your idea already, maybe not. Ideas grow when you start a conversation, when you are in a place where you feel free to speak your mind.

Sometimes you might get stuck and sometimes things don’t work out the way you planned. And sometimes that might be the best thing that could have happened. Sometimes you need to think outside the box.

Let's talk about it!
before we get started,
let’s figure out what you actually need! Step on by and tell me about your ideas.
Take control!
Be a part of the decisions
being made throughout the process. I’ll be your guide. We’ll figure out what suits your needs best!
Expertise and new Ideas
make the difference.
I’m equipped to bring your imagination to life. Together we can create something mind-blowing.
Post Production
is a game changer nowadays.
Take advantage of the immense variety of possibilities. It might be possible, even if it’s beyond your imagination!

WHAT WE DO

Think, add, add, delete, rethink, add, delete, start all over again. Think.

Photographs make time stand still for a split second. They can hold on to a memory or show your perspective.

Videos are a great opportunity to tell a story. They add the “little something” and allow you to include more information in a way that is pleasant to consume.

Postproduction nowadays is the one thing you can’t avoid. It gives you a variety of new possibilities with almost no boundaries.

HI! I’M JANA

I’m an Outdoor and adventure photographer, based in Munich, Germany and love to travel the world to tell stories.

I believe the world is filled with amazing people and things that need to be seen. I’m adventurous, openminded and love the outdoors. Currently I am chairwomen of the board at FREELENS e.V. and part of the female photographer network 14x2m in Munich. In 2011 and 2012 I spent a few month abroad living and working as a photographer with Bill Frakes and Straw Hat Visuals for Sports Illustrated, Nikon, Manfrotto and several others. I studied Photography and Design from 2009-2013 in Munich and founded KontraPixel in 2013. I now work as a Freelance Photographer based in Munich. I am an Outdoor and Sports Person and love spending my time roaming new places.
