TFCD:

I am NOT available for TFCD at this moment, just with models who I think that can benefit my portfolio. As much as I'd love to continue doing free shoots I am only doing free work if it's me who message you, but I am ALWAYS up for working with MUAs, hair stylists & stylists, so please get in touch with me about possible collaborating. I offer very high quality work with a professional service for reasonable rates, a 3-4 hour fashion/portrait/creative photoshoot and a selection of the best pictures edited in high resolution for around 300€. Please get in touch if you're interested to book a photoshoot and/or want to know my exactly rates in fact of what you want. Note that for now on I require a signed model release. E-mail me at info@jaquelinevanek.com


A bit about me:

My name is Jaqueline Vanek and I was born on August 27th, 1984 in Villach (Kärnten), Austria. After High School I start studying Modelling & Casting, a two year long course applicated to Sculpture at an Art College on the Canary Islands, Spain. I was always interested in photography, making portraits and getting crazy with Photoshop, this was the reason I finally get into Artistic Photography in 2005, studying a two year long course full of passion and imagination. Ending summer 2007 I moved to Madrid, where I enrolled in a MA Fashion, Portrait and Advertising course at TAI (Escuela Superior de Artes y Espectáculos).

Lots of my personal work are based on daily emotions and sensations. Inspired by thoughts, images, music, notions or concepts formed by my mind. I love the experimentation of mixing the unexplainable, the sensual, the dramatic and the gripping. Disturbance, surprises, outrage and disgust by dark, atmospherical and conceptual images. Photography is the perfect way to free my mind, be more creative and express myself in a new way, a way of making them timeless in form of photography.

At the moment I am up to getting more into fashion portraits. My main goal on a photoshoot is to capture the emotions and styles of my models while also making them feel at ease. I am very enthusiastic about creating outstanding pieces and my portfolio is constantly updated.
