Jana Margarete Schuler comes from the small Franconian town of Forchheim, where she grew up in a district called “Kellerwald”. A wooded area where one beer cellar follows another - rich in tradition and bizarre.
No wonder she is interested in people and places that are out of the norm. While studying photojournalism and documentary photography in Hanover, she began photographing reportages on social and cultural topics.
