With a background in cultural anthropology and photography, Janine Mapurunga uses her uniquely trained eye to view the world through her lens. She is concerned with the origin, nature and destiny of her subjects. Janine studied under award winning photojournalist Andy de Lucia, from whom she learned how to document her subjects without being intrusive. She firmly believes in teaching and honing skills in the darkroom before moving on to digital media.
Janine's photography has been featured in both print and galleries, locally and internationally. In addition to her wedding and commercial work, she is intimately involved with special projects abroad. She recently completed a six month documentary project in Sri Lanka, where she lived in a secluded village in the jungle.
Janine strives to tap into what she calls “the poetry of life” that surrounds us. Her versatility and intimate documentary form allow her access to what might otherwise be the unseen image. Janine finds moments rather than creating them and her work is distinguished by technical precision combined with warmth and humanity.
