I'm Janine — a Krugersdorp photographer creating editorial, romantic imagery for people who want their story told with intention. Every session is planned, styled and photographed with you, never rushed.
Each experience is built around you — the light, the location, the styling and the pace. Choose the one that fits your season.
Golden-hour sessions in the fields, hills and quiet corners around Gauteng. We choose the location together, plan your wardrobe, and shoot in the softest light of the day.
Full-day, unhurried wedding coverage with an editorial eye. I travel to your venue anywhere in South Africa and photograph the day as it truly unfolds — the nerves, the laughter, the quiet moments between.
Moody, sculpted studio portraits made in my Krugersdorp space. Controlled light, rich shadow and a painterly finish — for anyone who wants an image that feels like a piece of art on the wall.
A small selection from outdoor sessions, wedding days and the studio — across Gauteng and wherever the light takes me.
From couples, families and studio clients across Gauteng.
Janine made us feel like the only two people in the world. She planned the whole day around the light and we never once felt rushed or posed. The photos look like a magazine spread of our actual lives.
I booked the studio session for myself after years of avoiding cameras. Janine talked me through everything, sent a mood board, and the images are genuinely the most confident I've ever looked.
Our family shoot was chaos in the best way and Janine captured all of it. She found a field twenty minutes from home that looked like another country. We've already booked her again.
A photographer, wife, mother and a girly girl with a love for beautiful details and a little drama—in my photographs, of course.Based in Krugersdorp, Gauteng, I create outdoor portraits, photograph weddings and explore a more artistic side of portraiture in my fine art studio. Each offers something different, but what draws me in is always personal: your connection, your expression and the things that make you unmistakably you.I love the freedom of natural light, the emotion of a wedding day and the possibilities of a carefully considered studio portrait. My style brings together romance, personality and an editorial touch, with space for both quiet moments and bold ideas.Being in front of a camera can feel a little unfamiliar. I want you to feel comfortable enough to relax, enjoy the experience and let your personality come through.Whether we’re celebrating your family, your love or a new chapter, I’d love to create something meaningful with you.
Make a BookingMy love for photography began long before it became my career. Even when I was young, I was fascinated by how a photograph could tell a story—and show someone their own beauty, especially when they struggled to see it themselves.Fifteen years ago, my husband bought me my first camera. That gift gave me a way to explore something I had always loved, and I started photographing alongside my full-time teaching job. What began as a hobby grew into a small business, and eventually, I knew I wanted to give it my full attention.I left teaching, opened my studio and became a full-time photographer.Today, photography is where my passion and my work meet. I get to celebrate people, tell their stories and create photographs that help them see themselves a little differently. Fifteen years on, I still love what I do—and the possibility of making someone feel beautiful never loses its meaning.
My work sits between two worlds. There is the editorial side — clean composition, deliberate styling, an image that looks considered rather than accidental. And there is the romantic side — soft light, real emotion, the small in-between moments that nobody plans for. I want both in every gallery: pictures that look beautiful and pictures that feel true.
I shoot in natural light wherever I can, and sculpt it in the studio when the story calls for shadow and depth. Either way, nothing about your session is generic. We plan it around you.
My studio is a converted space in Monument, Krugersdorp with high ceilings, deep plum walls and a wall of north-facing light. It is where the fine art portraits happen — controlled light, painterly shadow, and a calm room where you can take your time. It is also where we meet for consultations, look at mood boards and talk through your session before a single frame is taken.
Four things I hold to, whether it is a wedding day or an hour in the studio.
Every session starts with a conversation. We talk about what you want to remember, who is in the frame and how you want to feel when you look at the images. Nothing is left to chance on the day.
Before we shoot, you receive a mood board built for your session — palette, wardrobe guidance, location options and the light we are chasing. It takes the guesswork out of getting dressed and lets you arrive relaxed.
I do not rush people. Sessions are booked with room to breathe, so there is time to settle in, warm up and forget the camera is there. The best frames almost always come after the nerves have gone.
From the first email to the final gallery, you deal with me and no one else. Images are hand-edited, delivered in a private online gallery, and I am always happy to talk through print and framing options.
Tell me a little about what you have in mind and we will set up a consultation — in the studio or over a call, whichever suits you. No obligation, just a good conversation about your photographs.
Make a BookingFields, hills, quiet farm roads and the last hour of sun — outdoor sessions are where people relax fastest and look most like themselves. We choose the location together, plan what you wear, and shoot when the light is at its softest.
Every session is planned around who is in the frame — the pace, the location and the styling change with you.
You choose your style. Posed or natural. It's up to you. Styled or non-styled.
Children are welcome to be children. I photograph families in motion — running, being carried, laughing at something off-camera — with a few relaxed group frames in between.
A session for yourself, in natural light, with no audience. Ideal for a new chapter, a portfolio, or simply because you have never had a photograph you actually like.
Mark the yes. We shoot at a location that means something to you, and I can quietly photograph a proposal if you would like the moment itself documented.
Soft, unhurried and flattering — photographed in the last stretch of the day, with wardrobe guidance and a gown or two available to borrow from the studio.
The dress, the suit, the corsage, the cap and gown — this is a milestone worth photographing properly. We shoot before the farewell or graduation event, in the golden hour, so you have beautiful portraits of the day itself and not just phone snaps from the dance floor. Sessions are relaxed and unhurried: individual portraits, a few frames with your partner or your closest friends, and family shots for the parents who want one for the wall. Bring the whole look — hair, make-up, shoes, the lot — and we will make it look like the occasion it is.
All sessions include a planning call, a mood board, location scouting and hand-edited images in a private online gallery.

Make a BookingFrom the quiet of getting ready to the last dance under the lights — I photograph weddings the way they actually happen. No stiff line-ups, no endless posing. Just the nerves, the laughter and the small moments between, held in warm editorial light.
Every wedding has its own rhythm. We plan the coverage around your timeline, your venue and the moments you most want to keep.
The morning is where the day's real story starts — the dress hanging in the window, hands shaking slightly, the first look in the mirror. I photograph it quietly, without interrupting.
Two angles, one attention: your faces as you say it. I stay out of the aisle and out of the way, so the photographs feel like memories rather than a performance.
Twenty unhurried minutes away from the guests, in the best light your venue has to offer. This is where the editorial frames come from — the ones you will want on the wall.
Warm, quick and organised. I work from a list we build together beforehand, so nobody stands around waiting and everyone is back at the celebration fast.
Entrances, first dance, the speech that makes everyone cry, the dance floor at its loudest. Candid, unposed and photographed in the room's own light.
Rings, bouquet, stationery, table settings and the venue dressed for the day — photographed before guests arrive so nothing is missed and nothing is moved.

Make a BookingDeep plum walls, a wall of north light and time to settle in — fine art sessions are made in my Krugersdorp studio, where the light is sculpted rather than chased. We plan the mood, the styling and the shadow before you arrive, so the hour itself is calm.
Every session is planned around who is in the frame — the lighting, the styling and the pace change with you.
The session most people book. We build a mood board together, choose a backdrop and a lighting direction, and photograph you slowly until the nerves are gone and the real expressions arrive.
Considered, respectful and entirely private. Posed with an emphasis on line, shadow and form rather than exposure, and photographed only by me in a closed studio with a female assistant present. For all the details about this service, visit my website at www.sinandsilhouette.co.za
Soft, sculpted and unhurried. Gowns and fabrics are available to borrow from the studio, and the lighting is shaped to flatter — best booked between 30 and 34 weeks.
For artists, makers and business owners who need portraits that look considered. We plan wardrobe, props and a consistent palette so your whole set of images works together.
Two people, one frame, treated as a single composition. We work with closeness and negative space — hands, the line of a shoulder, the way you turn towards each other — and shape the light so the connection reads rather than the pose. Unhurried, private, and made for a wall.
A fine art modeling portfolio is a considered body of images made with a model, for a model — the work that shows casting directors, agencies and gallery clients what you can hold in front of a lens. We plan the shoot as a series rather than a set of singles: a mood board, a palette, two or three lighting directions and a styling plan, so the finished portfolio reads as one coherent voice. Posing is directed throughout, with attention to line, gesture and the space around the body, and every frame is hand-edited and retouched. You leave with a private online gallery, print-ready files and a selection sized for agency submissions and social media.
All studio sessions include a planning call, a mood board, styling guidance and hand-edited images in a private online gallery.
