About Jan:
As a freelance photographer (mainly landscape, architecture and underwater) for over 45 years, my passion for both photography and nature started early in life.
Over the years I have won many awards in international photo competitions and live shootouts taking place in Australia, Palau, Indonesia, Maldives, Germany, etc. In addition I conducted many underwater photo workshops and multi-media presentations.
I have contributed ocean-related articles and images to many dive and travel magazines, including: Asian Geographic, Tauchen, AsianDiver, DIVER (USA & Canada), Divemaster, dive.at, tek990, ScubaDiver AustralAsia, etc. Additionally my images have been published in books, calendars, advertising brochures and magazines ads.
In 2006 I transitioned to digital and started to focus more on photography outside the water, in particular on landscape and panorama photography. To create panorama images I use a multi-shot technique with high-end digital cameras and post-processing on Mac computers. This allows the creation of extremely detailed images which can produce very large-sized prints (over 3 meters wide). My goal is to recreate the same experience of when I took the photograph – so when the viewer walks up and stands close and can see the huge panoramic scale and fine detail – they feel they are there.
