Ilnieke, photographer behind Javu Photography

Hi, I am Ilnieke

Nice to meet you. I am a passionate photographer based in Dubai. JAVU originated from Bloemfontein, South Africa, where I have fallen in love with its landscape and people. I love travelling, especially to capture your special moments.

Emotion is my favourite aspect of photography, if I had to choose. A mother witnessing her daughter's marriage, folks falling in love with life itself, a maternity session with a couple expecting their first bundle of joy, and two lovers coming together as one. There is just something about the way people feel and capturing it is always my goal. I believe that if you engage in a session with me, the photos I produce will evoke strong emotions and transport you back to the time and place you shared a fairytale moment with family and friends. That is what I hope to bring you all.
