Portraits of Janosch Abel

I love to take pictures that are calm and on point. Working together with the subject as a team I can build up a trust that help me direct the shoot in a natural way.

Janosch Abel – I love to take portraits that are calm and on point. Working together with the subject as a team I can build up a trust that help me direct the shoot in a natural way.

In my photography, the location, action and probs have to underline the personality. Before those things pull the focus away from the subject I prefer to shoot the person in front of a neutral backdrop.For me its important to take portraits that are unique. The main part of my work is the trust and confidence that you can see in every subject. My goal in every portrait sitting is to find an honest and direct way to show the subject.

I like that regardless of what I’m shooting, be it a editorial for a magazine or a job for a client, my way of shooting does not have to differ too much from my free projects. To tell the story in a way that I give the viewer a direct way to the subject without too much distraction.
