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. Over here there’s only two
seasons, Hot & Hotter.
Z: Which photographer do you look up to
and why?
Janka: Justin Mott. He works in Vietnam and
done documentary photography and also
weddings. We met on a plane to Cambodia.
I love his work and he might change my mind
to try weddings.
Z: What method of photography do you use
not film/digital and why?
Janka: I use both. digital for work and film in
my free time or on holidays, where I can play
and do my own mistakes and have fun with
them.
