Janna Waldinger

Statement

I, Janna Waldinger, am a creative bridge between worlds of the seen and unseen, between the practical and the enchanted. I love metaphors and archetypes. I find meaning in paths, portals, windows and doorways. For more than 30 years I’ve been photographing people in doorways, on the threshold. The threshold as a metaphor of the transition between worlds. One foot in one world and one foot in the other world.

When I live a life that is original and colorful, it brings me a deep sense of fulfillment and joy. Seeing life through the eye of the artist brings new creative life force into my being. I’m a woman who finds meaning in everything… in light and shadows.

As a photographer and image maker I get excited as I notice the direction of light. I use the camera to frame the world into a story I want to share. I focus on the world I want to live in and that informs my day.
