4Art’s Collective Group:

4Art Welcomes Photographer Janae Kernes.

Janae Kernes was born in Woodstock, IL on April 1, 1981, yes April fools day! Janae has always had a love for nature and it's beauty. Little did she know that love of nature would turn into a passion for photography. She started out using a one time use camera when she was little. Then as Janae grew older she graduated to a Minolta 35mm film camera. Janae is a self taught photographer. Even though she has never gone to school for photography, Janae is always studying books and talking to seasoned professionals to help guide her along her way. Janae hopes to take an individual on a journey into the picture, to see it not as she does or as anyone else might see it but how you see it personally. Janae state: The world holds in it's grasp endless beauty. To be able to capture just a glimpse of it is a privilege. You don't have to be a professional to get that one in a million shot, you just have to be there. www.photography81.ifp3.com
