Janise's Bio
Janise's Biography
I’ve had the privilege of being a full time photographer of life for over 30 years, trained at UCLA, specializing in people and our environment. My artistic expression is truly about my inner journey. I have been discovering, learning and cultivating the ability to blend, through many medias, over the last number of years, which is now be woven through my photography. A coming together - the layering of ideas, and refining those ideas are the elements I now include to capture images and stories which reflect multi-sensory richness.
My photography has been pretty diverse, including portraits of celebrities, corporate events, weddings and people with interesting stories to share, special features for People Magazine, Phoenix Magazine, The Plateau Journal of Northern Arizona, and contributing photographer for Sedona Magazine for over 10 years. Showcase photographer for the Los Angeles Arts Festival, Arizona Points of Pride and Sedona Film Festival. I feel the diversity of photography which I embrace contributes a far richer tapestry to each celebration and story I create.
