Janina Laszlo is a Munich-based visual creator whose work lives at the intersection of photography, artistic storytelling, and contemporary visual expression. What began as a childhood curiosity — capturing light and fleeting moments with her first camera at age eight — has become a lifelong visual exploration rooted in sensitivity, precision, and presence.

Born and raised near Munich amidst lakes and mountains, Janina’s earliest experiences with natural light and atmospheric nuance shaped her way of seeing and composing images. After completing her BA in Photography at Munich’s historic photography school (founded 1900) in 2009, she expanded her visual vocabulary through long-term projects and stays in Los Angeles, China, and New Zealand — each location challenging her to reinterpret light, space, and connection to subject matter.

Rather than adhere to a single genre, Janina’s practice is defined by authentic engagement with her subjects and a calm, intuitive visual language. Her work moves fluidly between portraiture, editorial, documentary, interior and travel photography, always striving to reveal new facets of character, atmosphere, and the unsaid.

Alongside commissioned work for brands, creative agencies, and editorial clients, Janina also develops personal art projects — most notably the UNITY series, an AI-informed visual exploration of the evolving relationship between people and nature that speaks to balance, strength, and cohesion in contemporary life.

Represented internationally by Sonja Heintschel Photographers & More, Janina’s images are known for their clarity, restraint, and contemporary sensibility — shaped through collaboration, a strong focus on character, and a deep understanding of how visuals function within real spaces.

Why I do what I do

For Janina, photography and art aren’t just tools — they are ways of translating emotion, atmosphere, and presence into visuals that feel meaningful and considered. Her mission is to create work that resonates with design-minded, thoughtful audiences who value craft and minimalism over flash, and connection over noise.

She speaks to those who see art not as decoration but as an extension of identity and space — people who curate their lives with intention and understand the power of a well-made image to elevate everyday moments.
