I’m Joanna Janke, a Berlin-based Polish photographer

My approach to photography is intuitive and holistic. When I say that 'I create space', it means that I don't expect you to be a certain way. You will react to me during the shoot, and vice versa—I can’t predict the final outcome. This energy is present and will always be. What I can control is the process itself, and I will compassionately guide you through it.
I’m not looking for the ultimate image, the ultimate essence of someone. The chances of that happening are far and few between.
— Annie Leibovitz
About me
In my life, two expansive realms, that of music and photography, intertwine. This is why, since more than 10 years, I've been collaborating with musicians and artists, assisting them in crafting meaningful visual identities that reflect their artistic essence.
I work with anyone who wants more than just visually appealing photographs. You don't have to be a musician or an artist: if you feel that you want to show something that holds personal value or tell your unique story, you're at the right address.
My approach
Everything is in flux, and so are we—ordinary people, yet special in every aspect. We all have sensitive parts that we often wish didn't exist, but that's precisely what makes us human. My interest in human nature, behaviorism, and trauma has always drawn me toward the field of psychotherapy and the mind-body connection. This influenced my path as a human, constantly on my healing journey, and a photographer. My approach is intuitive and holistic, it means that if everything in life is set in some context - the photo should reflect that too.
In order to create something meaningful for you, like artist visual identity or personal branding, we need to explore the key elements of your life or work - and they will be our guides during the photoshoot.
