“I recently had the opportunity to work with Jana for a corporate headshot, and it was an outstanding experience. I usually avoid the camera and feel uncomfortable during photo sessions, but Jana’s skill in capturing someone’s true character really stood out.
Right from the start, Jana made me feel relaxed with her calm demeanor. She assured me that she specializes in taking beautiful photos of people who usually don’t like being photographed, and she certainly lived up to her word.
During the photoshoot, Jana was excellent at providing gentle instructions and encouragement. What makes her unique is her ability to capture not just a picture, but the real you. Every photo she took seemed to reveal more of my genuine self, leading to headshots that not only met but surpassed my expectations and made me feel confident and positive.
I don’t often give feedback, but the exceptional service I received from Jana deserves recognition. Her talent is remarkable, and I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to have their photo taken. Working with Jana is sure to change how you view photography and provide you with images that truly represent the best of who you are.”
“Jana created a series of highly professional online classes for our dance school 2ballerinas when we had to close for Covid lockdown. Jana’s experience in all stages of the process, from planning, directing, filming and editing made it so easy to entrust to her the entire project. We were so happy with the outcome we decided to engage Jana to also bring our popular courses online on-demand. So now we have a fantastic learning tool that can supplement our in-studio classes with. We highly recommend Jana!”
“Nice to work with someone that knows what they are doing. Very capable and easy to work with.”
“FSI products are technical in nature meaning in-depth training is required to ensure our products are correctly installed and maintained. With COVID limiting domestic travel and halting international travel, FSI had to develop training videos that could be used on their own, or in conjunction with online training programs for our international and domestic clients. Whilst we had an idea of how we wanted to present the training material we had not previously undertaken this type of project. How do we try and create training videos for a product that is technical and would normally require intensive hands-on training?
Being able to meet with Jana and talk through our aims for the videos meant we were able to discuss the potential roadblocks we may face including limited access to the type of heavy equipment our products are installed on, the locations that we may have to film in being in the open, very noisy and with no way of controlling natural light etc. Jana was able to talk us through how we could work around these constraints whilst ensuring she could capture all the required footage. One of the other challenges was the requirement to film our products within the confines of engine bays and small spaces on heavy equipment, often whilst technicians were already working in the same space.
There was no hesitation from Jana and she made it work every time regardless of how many times we had to reshoot a scene due to noise, one of us forgetting our lines, or the tight timeframes that we had to work to in order to ensure that there was no delay to the equipment being ready to go back to work. Whilst we may have had images in our mind as to how a scene should look, Jana was always able to suggest another option that would result in a much better outcome.
Simply, the finished videos far exceeded our expectations. From our first meetings, through to final editing, Jana’s skills and professionalism made all the difference. Despite having to film in less than ideal conditions, or only meet online due to COVID, Jana was able to produce videos that we have now used with clients interstate and overseas as part of our training.
We have had many comments from our clients and distributors about how well filmed and produced the videos are and being easy to follow. Jana found the right balance of footage to match the detailed script describing what was often very technical processes. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Jana and every deadline was met.
We cannot recommend Jana highly enough and are sure that Jana will turn your concept into an outstanding finished product regardless of the challenges that may be involved.”
“Jana has made two behind-the-scenes videos for us, documenting user testing of two of our augmented reality projects, one for Naturkundemuseum and the other for Gemäldegalerie Berlin. At Neeeu we are dedicated to creating user-centered experiences and actively involving our clients in the process. It was important to us to communicate both the work that goes into the projects, and to showcase the reactions of the AR app users. Jana was easy to work with and her professionalism meant that we could entrust her to take charge of documenting the event, filming interviews and editing everything together into an appealing video that reflects the Neeeu spirit. The videos are fantastic promotional tools on our website and are also being used by our clients.”
“Jana provided profile head shots for me and team for LinkedIn & company website. Thanks and great job!”
“Jana did a family shoot with our newborn baby and we absolutely love our photos! They are so natural and candid and we’re so grateful for her capturing this special time for us. Jana was a dream to work with even for two camera-shy people like us!”
“Jana has shot some great videos and photographs of our family orchard and vineyard. I would highly recommend”
