About me

Portrait of Czech landscape photographer Jana Zeithammerová
Jana Zeithammerová – landscape photographer based in the Ore Mountains

I am a Czech landscape photographer based in the Ore Mountains. For nearly twenty years, photography has been my way of slowing down, observing the landscape and returning to places that continue to change with the seasons, weather and light.

My work is shaped by mist, soft colours, long exposures and minimalist compositions. I am not interested in describing every detail. I look for quiet images in which a single tree, a line of water or an empty snowy plain can carry the atmosphere of an entire landscape.

I was named Photographer of the Year by the Czech magazine FotoVideo and have published photographic articles in the Czech press. I also lead photography trips and workshops, sharing both my experience and my belief that the strongest photograph often begins when we learn to see less.
