Photography & Film
Click.
Capture.
Cherish.
Portraits, love stories and wild skies — photographed with patience, light and heart.
The Lab
Every photograph starts long before the shutter clicks — in the tide tables, the weather maps, the quiet conversation before a proposal. I chase the light so your story looks the way it felt.

Some love stories are best told from the sky.
Drone photography adds a perspective no one forgets — a heart of stones on the beach, a reef glowing turquoise beneath you, a road disappearing into the hills.
Landscape & Astrophotography
From rainbows
to the Milky Way.
By day I chase weather across the island; by night I follow the stars. Stills, aerials and time-lapses — one sky, every hour.

About me
Hi, I'm Jana.
From neurons to nebulae — I have spent my life looking closely.
By profession I am a scientist at the University of Oxford, where my camera turns inward: I capture neurons in the brain, the smallest and most intricate landscapes I know. Photography is not just what I do after work — it is part of the work itself.
The journey began nineteen years ago in India, the day my dad placed my first camera in my hands. Eight years there turned a boy's curiosity into a way of seeing. Then came nine years in Japan — countless model collaborations, quiet proposals, joyful weddings, and long nights beneath island skies, waiting for a rainbow or the Milky Way to rise. For the last two years, home has been Oxford.
“A picture-perfect photo never tells a story. Its little imperfections do.”
In an age of AI, when anyone can look flawless, I choose to keep things real. A strand of hair caught by the wind, a laugh in the middle of a breath, the grain of a night sky — these are the details that make a photograph truly yours.
So I keep my editing light and honest, with a natural touch, letting the light, the place and the people feel exactly as they were. No plastic skin, no invented skies — just your moment, as it happened.
Jana

Patience is the pen.”
Pricing
Made with passion,
not for profit.
Photography has always been a labour of love. I accept a limited number of commissions — intimate weddings, small celebrations and personal sessions — and offer them at rates well below typical market pricing, so that beautiful, honest photography remains within reach.
01
Passion first
I photograph because I love it. Every shoot gets my full attention, whatever the budget.
02
Small & intimate
I keep to small events, intimate weddings and personal sessions — where every moment can be seen and felt.
