PORTRAITURE & CELEBRITY PHOTOGRAPHY Nov 2012

Jana Cruder is a fashion, celebrity and advertising photographer who splits her time between New York and Los Angeles.

Jana's imagery may best be described as hyper-real with a sense of soul. Her ability to combine a fashion aesthetic with underlying conceptual nuances gives her work a uniquely playful tone. Light, saturation, colour and shadow become her creative surges. Through honed observation and a keen permissiveness, her work travels the line of fantasy and reality, resulting in a world where the perfect is ever so slightly imperfect.

Through her rose-tinted glasses Jana exalts the beauty in the mundane and elaborate, resulting in images that blur the line between the worlds of fashion, advertising and fine-art. These rich, colourful and contrasting images convey an idea or mood that jumps off the page.
