Fran Janik has been looking at the world through the eye of a camera for nearly 30 years.

He received his first camera at the age of 10, and has been capturing moments of life and communicating his ideas visually ever since.

After studying photography in Rhode Island, Fran first shot professionally in Boston, and then moved to New York to focus on fashion photography in the 80s.

In New York, he worked with internationally recognized talents like Irving Penn and photography icon, Annie Lebowitz.

He was the first Director of Photography for Spin magazine, and he has photographed many celebrities including actor, John Cleese; rap pioneers, Run DMC; and rock singer/songwriter Lenny Kravitz. While in New York, he also photographed former President Ronald Reagan during his first campaign in 1980.

His corporate clients have included Bloomingdales, Macy’s, Sergio Valente, Hasbro Industries, Swisstel and Ringling Brothers Circus.

Fran lives in Southern Vermont and works all over New England. He goes wherever an image takes him. He can be found catching a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, capturing a family against the vibrant Vermont foliage or preserving the memories of a lifetime for a bride and groom.
