Ben Janos

Hello, my name is Ben Janos.

I’m a Photographer, Videographer, and Amateur Graphic Designer based in Hemet, CA.

Growing up, I was really into electronics. I would play around with computers, take photos with my phone and edit them for fun, look at the latest keyboards and other peripherals, etc. But I never really looked into the creative space.

It wasn’t until 2019, when I received my first camera (Canon Rebel XT), that I did photography as a hobby. I would watch Peter Mckinnon videos on YouTube and get inspired by his work. From there, I developed an understanding of how cameras and lenses work. I worked up to get a Sony Mirrorless camera, then a Lumix camera, and then to the two cameras I use today: a Lumix G85 and a Sony A7RII.

Since 2023, I helped my church by creating flyers, taking live videos, and photographing services. I dove deeper into the creative media space in 2024. I was able to help out the Apostolic Assembly with a few minor photo projects, then I moved to helping IDCN sector 3 and eventually IDCN with their media team.

Currently, I run Media GSPL, a small creative media and multimedia company. I enjoy capturing memories and making statements with creative media. I believe that media is what we express on the internet, and creativity is how we express it. How we express it determines our audience and how much our content engages them.

Keep an open mind; look up, look down, look close, look far away, and pay attention to the lighting and how it interacts with your surroundings. Look at angles, backgrounds, signs, pay attention to people as they walk by. Look at the details. Look for moments or ideas.

Eyes can be the most important aspect of showing emotion through a street photograph. Pay attention to people’s eyes when you capture them.
