the creative
behind
I'm Jana, a Swiss photographer working across lifestyle, travel, hospitality and interiors — drawn to places, people and the little moments that make them feel special.
With a background in architecture and interior design, I naturally pay attention to spaces, details and atmosphere. But for me, it's never just about how a place looks — it's about how it feels to be there.
I create content for lifestyle brands, retreats and places that captures the experience behind the space: the slow mornings, the people, the textures, the light, and everything in between.Jana Katharina Köppel
A few stories I've captured.
Kind words from clients
«She captured so many beautiful, genuine moments throughout the retreat, often without me even realizing she was taking photos!»
Working with Jana during my Portugal surf retreat in July was honestly such a pleasure. From the very first phone call, I immediately felt that everything was incredibly professional and that I could trust her completely and just let go.
Naturally, I’m quite particular about how I envision things and how I want the final result to feel, so being able to fully trust someone with capturing these moments is really important to me. With Jana, that trust was there from the very beginning. She made me feel so comfortable and gave me the feeling that I could simply let her do her thing and know that everything would turn out beautifully. She captured so many beautiful, genuine moments throughout the retreat, often without me even realizing she was taking photos!!
Nothing felt staged or forced, which made the photos feel so natural and special. Jana was also incredibly reliable, professional, and easy to have around. I’m so happy she was part of the retreat and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer they can genuinely trust. She delivered the photos basically on the same day too!

Jana accompanied our retreat with so much sensitivity, creating content that felt perfectly aligned with who we are – by the very next day, I had finished photos, finished reels, and all the videos ready to go. Completely professional, reliable, and highly recommended – hope to work together again soon!
