PHOTO CONTEST – SINCE 2014
JaNa is the artistic duo of Jafar and Nasim, life partners and the heart behind JaNa Photography in Vancouver, Canada.
Originally from Persia, Iran, they began their journey in 2009, creating timeless newborn and maternity portraits. Their passion for photography has taken them far, with more than 100 international exhibitions across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
For two years, Jafar and Nasim traveled the world by bicycle, organizing photo exhibitions and planting 100 trees along the way as symbols of peace, friendship, and care for the environment. Today, those trees stand tall, more than a decade old.
When they returned, they made Vancouver their new home and relaunched JaNa Photography. Before long, their talent placed them among the top three maternity and newborn photographers in the region. Jafar is known for his delicate newborn portraits, while Nasim shines in maternity photography.
They are excited and honored to join the judging panel for Season 38, continuing to share their love of photography and celebrate the creativity of others.
