Through the viewfinder of a camera, Janet Little Jeffers delights in exploring the unexpected details of the natural and manmade world. Her photographs capture intriguing details that may surprise the viewer, inviting a closer look at subjects that normally attract little attention.

An avid artist since childhood, Janet’s creative pursuits led to a career as an award-winning graphic designer specializing in publications, and she has been awarded for work in the interior design field as well. While earning her B.A. from Towson University and an M.A. in Publications Design from University of Baltimore, she also worked as an announcer for radio stations in the Baltimore-Washington area, including the notable free-form music stations WHFS-FM and WRNR-FM. But ever since picking up her first SLR camera — a trusty Pentax K1000 — during her freshman year of college, photography has been her enduring passion.

Janet now photographs in digital format, using Nikon gear and a Mac-based digital darkroom. Her photography has been featured on book and CD covers, in films, galleries and private collections. In 2008 she was signed to international publishers Wild Apple Graphics.

She resides near Annapolis, Maryland, with her husband and their three dogs, a husky mix and two pugs. When she is not behind a camera, she enjoys yoga, music, racquetball, kayaking, reading, and travel.
