Jon Janeway Owner / Photographer
Twenty-plus years with a camera, and I still get excited when I walk into a space before a shoot.
I'm a commercial and residential real estate photographer based in Wheaton, serving the greater Chicagoland area. My work covers three areas: commercial real estate and architectural photography for developers, general contractors, and architects — residential real estate photography for agents and homeowners who want their listings to stand out — and fine art prints for collectors and interior spaces.
The commercial photography side has taken me through full project cycles. Ground-up construction documentation, MEP rough-ins, finished tenant buildouts, exterior architecture. There's something satisfying about having a visual record of a project from start to finish — and developers and GCs increasingly rely on that documentation for marketing, investor reporting, and portfolio work.
For residential real estate, the value is straightforward: professional photography helps homes sell faster and at better prices. I work with agents across the Chicago suburbs to make the process quick and consistent.
The fine art work is where this all started — landscape photography, bold compositions, images built to hold attention. That part hasn't changed.
Outside of work: cooking, traveling, and getting out on my bike when Chicago weather cooperates.
