  • “Jan Pavelka worked as Stills Photographer on our shoot and he was an asset to the production of our feature film. Jan is very professional and delivers every time. He is a delight to work for and is very popular with the cast and crew and always goes that extra mile and assisted with some Drone footage for the feature. I would have no hesitation working with Jan in the future or recommending him for Stills Photography or Behind the Scenes Photography..”
