“Your photos are very natural and true. Also you are one of the few photographers who don’t waste your -and our- time. It has been a pleasure working with you.”
“Like many musicians, I dread having my photo taken. But Joanna Bergin has the rare talent to make it a fun experience - and then to produce what for many of us is the finest set of portraits we’ve ever had done.”
“Joanna, I love your photos, I look alive in them!”
— Sir John Tavener
I have always loved photography, and then found myself in front of the lens of some of the worlds greatest photographers, while working as a model. This taught me a lot about light and about directing people. Now I love to take portraits of others, with the aim of capturing the essence of their personality and showing them in their best light.
