CURRENT MISSION

Multimedia design student in Denmark

ABOUT ME

I am Multimedia Design and Communication student from Latvia, studying right now in Aarhus, Denmark. My great passion is photography and right now I am digging into video world. So you could say that I like to look at the world through frame :)

You can preview my photography portfolio here - http://janisvelins.com and my Visual Impressions blog at http://blog.janisvelins.com - I post articles here if I've had a now photography session or had some visually inspired event. Of course also anything related with my love to photography :)

PHILOSOPHY

To take as many choices as you can until you gain enough experience to sort out your main interests and ways.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had one couchsurfing experience and it was very positive. I have to say I was amazed of this opportunity to suddenly meet new people, explore their culture.

Interests

In general you could say that I am inspired and interested by visual arts, visual communication. Let it be through video, graphic design, web design, typography. But especially photography. I am great photography lover and I've been doing this for the 6th year now.

Music, Movies, and Books

..Movies - definitely the ones that are composed and filmed nicely. Have to be a good story line - then it works best for me. But also like to see the seasons blockbusters and stuff like that.

Music? - what you will say if I'll mention RCHP, AIR, Coldplay, Radiohead, Moby, Massive Attack, St. Germain and a lot more ... styles like rock, jazz, nu jazz, downtempo, glitch-hop, electrical and basically music which pumps your blood faster, in more ways - let it be melancholic, hyped or other way (:

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach and tell something interesting from photography - frame composition, stories, concepts and ideas, genres, post production etc. We can also go out and take photos together, that's how I'll be able to show better :)
