NEVER MIND LARA CROFT, HERE’S JANKA. She has been in the photography business for about a year and this sassy photographer can easily roll down with the punches with the big guys. When asked which one takes pirority, good knowledge or good equipment, “I think none of that matters, you can make a good picture with your phone.It’s about your vision and feeling. The heat of the moment.” She asserts. Ahh! One will not argue that with the heavily tattooted Slovakian who likes to help out in being a model and sold her first selfpotrait of her taken in a bathroom, a Metal band wanted it for their cover photo on their album. Z: Do you miss your hometown? Slovakia? Janka: yes dearly Z: How different it is from Singapore? Janka: Well, there is no sea, not enough seafood, nicer people, more nature, I mean the four seasons.
