What You Envision - Together We Can Create
About
Janise Witt, Photographer
“Photography is a way
of feeling, of touching,
of loving.
What you have
caught on film
is captured forever…
It remembers little things,
long after you have forgotten everything.”
– Aaron Siskind
What is so important about
the way I feel about photography?
There is no instrument or artistic expression which holds such mystery. It’s amazing to me to be able to look upon a scene, a beautiful person, couple or family and feel the joyful emotion, and with my mind’s eye be able to capture that image and bring it through the lens onto the digital image or print. It’s the magic of alchemy. That one moment in time in which the image is created, all the senses, heart and spirt go into creating the memory which flows through the lens of the camera. The photographic image holds such power, a tangible expression, that has the ability to bring you back to that moment of time. I am continually amazed even with the immediacy of the iPhones we now use; it is and will always remain an incredible mystery and one I love engaging with.

Special Times in Your Life
I am a photographic artist who loves people, the romance and natural beauty which surrounds me. My photography is my gift to you. I enjoy listening and bringing visions to life. For me, a photograph is like a living mandala, for it embraces a rich tapestry of love, joy, and beauty, which embraces the memory of that one special moment in time when it was created. Your memories continue to live and can bring you back to your beautiful experience at any time.

Collaborations
As you can see, food is something that is very much alive and as I love being in the present when I photograph for the cookbooks, what resonates with me is the full tapestry and wonder of Earth's bounty together with the ideas and processes the chefs go through to create these culinary masterpieces. It's really the whole creative process which lends itself so well to the storytelling photography I so love.

Fine Art
The love I feel in nature is what I wish to share with others. It reflects my time spent in a beautiful and dynamic landscape, and the personality I feel as I hike and commune with the natural world and seek to discover the personality each place holds. It also encompasses people ghosted into the environment in such a way that you feel the beauty and the spirit or personality which weaves through a place.When I am out in nature, I feel fully present and with all my senses fully engaged, I may capture, through the photographic eye, that one unique moment in time, which may reflect a richer story or image to be experienced by the beholder.
