The black-and-white documentary portraits of Colleagues were taken in the Central Operating Rooms of the Children's Hospital of the FN Brno between 2018 and 2021, completely spontaneously: at work while working. "Just like in photography, light also plays a very important role in the operating room. When I saw how it slides on their coats, how the glare from the instruments and gloves is reflected in their faces... And those emotions! It was impossible not to photograph it." Jana Stross

I am a nurse - photographer who specializes in documentary and portrait photography from the hospital environment.

I founded the Facebook group Foto - Lisen and the association of the same name. I have been a member of the Moravian Photographers Club. I have had several group or solo exhibitions, for example in the Mánes Exhibition Gallery in Prague or the Poysdorf Cultural Center in Austria.
