William Jans has two different occupations it seems…
1) WRJ PHOTO BUSINESS:
William Jans is a Vancouver based corporate photographer creating images for clients throughout Canada for 25 years. He has been commissioned to photograph a variety of famous faces and was fortunate to be one of the three official photographers for His Holiness the 14th while he was in Vancouver for three days.
Though William specializes in people photography, he has done extensive aerial photography and innumerable events ranging from corporate functions to Gala Evenings.
This aerial photo was used in the Canada Pavillion at the Beijing Olympics and was displayed 25 feet wide along one wall.
WRJ Photo can work with you to create from basic ideas to finished final product. The CITY TV bus photography layout and design were created by William Jans. The projects were challenging since a 30 foot long by 3 foot high layout requires strategic placement of every item in the shot. The campaign proved very successful.
William works mostly in Western Canada (B.C. and Alberta), but is as comfortable working in the US or Overseas.
2) WILLIAM JANS LIVE SHOWS:
A Passion for adventure travel and photography has led William to host LIVE presentations about his absurd travels. These shows have garnered great reviews on three Cross-Canada tours (selling out an 850 seat theatre nine times in Vancouver alone).
Response from media and audience alike has been overwhelming. Some have dubbed this a West-Coast Phenomenon and called the shows virtually interactive. The photo above is from one of the two over-sold-out premieres of Solo in South America in Vancouver.
(As written by Christian Jensen, travel writer): Energetic, charismatic, intelligent and down right funny-these are just a few of the qualities that describe William Jans. In addition to being a compulsively watchable figure, Jans is also a widely acclaimed photographer. Over the past 12 years William’s live slide and video shows have become a Canadian phenomenon, touring major centres across the nation and drawing sell out crowds. Jans’ personal wit and charisma are matched only by his photographic skill and his almost uncanny ability to set his subjects at ease-resulting in startlingly honest and unguarded portraits of our world’s peoples.
William is presently dabbling in nine languages.
