Janine Bentivegna is an award-winning photographer. The Cleveland Press Club has recognized her numerous times for her outstanding work. She owns and operates a successful commercial photography business in Greater Cleveland since 1988. A Cooper School of Art graduate, Janine's style has evolved to portraying people in everyday environments with precision and flair.

Her work appears regularly in national and regional business publications. Janine's clients include industrial concerns, government agencies, attorneys and management consultants. She specializes in environmental portraits, editorial and corporate images. Her formal training in studio photography has given Janine the "quality skills" and "perceptive eye" to capture images for people to remember. Janine's images have been seen in local galleries and in regional photography exhibitions, such as "Pictures from the Edge",a national touring show illuminating the issue of homelessness; the Women's Bicentennial Photography Project; The Community Portrait Gallery at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport; and, the Free Times, "Faces of Cleveland" art exhibit.

Janine is a people-person who has the knack to make her subjects at-ease. Her portfolio ranges from distinguished images of boardroom leaders to heart-wrenching photographs of a homeless mother.

Christine Gordillo, design editor for Crain's Cleveland Business states, "Janine makes an excellent connection with her subjects. Crain's has used her photography service for many years. She is dynamic and her work is always impressive." According to Janine, "having the ability to be decisive and surmise a situation on-location is key to producing great work."

Having the best equipment allows Janine to work in her downtown studio or on location-whichever suits the client and project. Prompt and within budget projects combined with stunning images assure Janine her loyal client base.
