About Janis
Working worldwide
Janis Willbold was born in Ulm, Germany. He began his career with internships in advertising photography and trained at SWR, a German public broadcaster. Since becoming a freelancer in 2003, he has worked with broadcasters and production companies, shifting his focus primarily to narrative and commercial productions in 2014.
He specializes in B-camera operating, Steadicam, TRINITY II, ARTEMIS II VOLT and the FOMA remote head with ARRI DRW-1 wheels. He owns these camera systems and maintains his skills through daily practice. A former professional inline skater, he brings a distinctive combination of skating expertise and camera-operating skills to his work — operating both handheld and Steadicam while on inline skates.
He is driven by a passion for translating ideas into compelling images, combining a considered visual approach with efficient execution. Outside his professional work, he remains an active inline skater and a dedicated CrossFit athlete and runner.
On inline skates since 1991
