Photo Janka

My name is Jana Semotová (Photo Janka), and I see portrait photography as a way to capture a person's personality, mood and story in a single image. I specialize in portrait photography and corporate headshots — from natural portraits for family frames to professional headshots suitable for LinkedIn or company profiles. I work from Cheb and enjoy photographing both in my portrait studio and in natural outdoor locations across the Karlovy Vary region. Why choose me: every photograph I take has purpose. I love working with color and contrast and I also believe black-and-white images have their own soul. With a sensitive eye and what I call a photographer's "sixth sense," I find the pose, light and composition that highlight the character and authenticity of the person in front of the camera. I focus on creating images that feel natural — relaxed, without stiffness, emphasizing genuine expression. My approach: I emphasize personal communication before the session. Together we discuss the goals of the portrait — do you want a professional business portrait, a relaxed image for social media, or a tender portrait for a family frame? On the day of the shoot I create a friendly, relaxed atmosphere so even the most camera-shy clients can be themselves. Sessions take place in the studio or on location by agreement, and I carefully edit the final images — always respecting the subject's natural look. What I offer: professional portrait photography in Cheb, meticulous editing and retouching where needed, and tailored options for corporate headshots or personal portraits that work online and in print. Whether you need a striking headshot for professional use or a warm personal portrait, I combine a feel for color, calm people skills and professional results. If you're looking for a portrait photographer who delivers sensitive direction and polished images, I'd be happy to hear from you. Warm regards, Jana (Photo Janka).
