Always more conscious of their own living environment people are often looking for their own story. We are travelling around the world discovering our planet. This landscape is crucial for our future and deserves extra attention, in everybody's interest. Landscape and environment determined finally who we are. The spectacular scenery on the picture shows that each indent light matters;-) The photo I took in the early morning sun together with the bands of laterite, give these Painted Hills in Mitchell, Oregon U.S.A. their colorful appearance.
As a documentary photographer, Janssen captures the moments he recognises in his fellow human beings, especially those elsewhere in the world. In everyday moments, he finds the same needs, insecurities or pleasures that all people enjoy in their lives - albeit to different degrees. In a world of polarisation and contrasts, sometimes even on one continent, Janssen settles geographical and symbolic boundaries by photographing people in a pure essence. He photographs the richness of our most basic human needs, like freedom, family and security - or, conversely, the absence of their obviousness.
