Jovan Landry - Official website

“Amazing photographer with big range - hire her for professional headshots or for the most fashionable of shoots.”

Mabel Gladly

“Jovan is highly charismatic, and her works have a terrific presence and impact on the psyche. More importantly, she thinks critically, reasons well, and has all the instincts for making sensitive works of art. I have since had the opportunity to view Jovan's ability to accomplish complex tasks in a timely manner, develop creative and unique works of her own, and to equally support difficult implementation of creative processes. Jovan is a multi-talented and yet, cool-headed artist who is so much fun and challenging to be around. I have been personally delighted with Jovan's work and her urge for reaching great heights with her works.”

~Qudus Onikeku, QDance Center

“Jovan Landry is an exceptionally creative and resourceful artist. Hardworking and very quick to adapt. She is committed to the overall success of projects she's involved in and plays her role selflessly. Passionate, loving, and sensitive individual.”

-Oluwabukunmi Olukitibi, Dancer

“Jovan is this unstoppable train of positive energy and immense talent, who welcomes so so many people aboard to benefit from the things she creates and is involved in. Jovan and I produced several projects at Experimental Station in Chicago that were dreams come true for her, me, and so many other people. I would 100% entrust Jovan to plan and execute pretty much anything, but maybe more importantly, I 100% trust Jovan as a collaborator, able to give and receive in a process that leads to something bigger and better than anyone could do alone.”

-Matthew Giddings, Executive Director of Elsewhere (Greensboro, NC), former Assistant Director of Experimental Station (Chicago)

‘Red Clay Dance has had the pleasure of partnering with Jovan on several different film and media projects over the past two years. Jovan is a DOPE creative and collaborator. She goes above and beyond to ensure the end product is not only professional but has artistic integrity. She is a visionary and has been a phenomenal partner in our work, and we look forward to working with Jovan on projects in the future!”

-Vershawn Sanders-Ward, Artistic Director & CEO of Red Clay Dance

“Working with Ms. Jovan Landry was something that I'll never forget. Landry meshes her love of music and entertainment culture with music and entertainment theory. She's an artist, producer, and filmmaker that "knows" where to place all of the assets to bring about the most aesthetically pleasing outcome. Her knowledge proves most remarkable, no... Perhaps it is her energy, maybe it is the amalgamation of her intellect, frequency, and devotion that makes working with her so worthwhile!”

-Emon Fowler, Hip-Hop Artist

“Working with Jovan has never been anything less than working WITH Jovan. She’s always high-energy, low stress and she’s VERY focused on her goals without forgetting that every single person she’s working with is a human, too. She’s just such a beautiful spirit to work alongside, and I’m forever a fan. And that’s BEFORE I count her music!”

-D•R•A•A, Musician

“I had the opportunity to work with Jovan as she documented and served as an artistic collaborator in the creation, development, and presentation process of Onye Ozuzu’s Project Tool in Haiti, New Orleans, Chicago, and in residency at Ragdale. Jovan has a remarkable ability to be an acute observer and an active participant, and simultaneously and seamlessly flow between both roles. Whether in a formal shoot or live performance, a candid interview or b-roll, Jovan’s ability to connect on and off camera brings out the best in her subjects.”

-Roell Schmidt, STAGE Managing/Producing Director

"I've had the pleasure of working with Jovan in different arenas, and no matter what, she brings the funk. She is on point, consistent, and always has a new skill in her repertoire. On the occasions I've worked with her, she has been: a director, an actor, a camera person, a video editor, and a performer- all at a high level. Jovan is fearless, unapologetically creative, and goes after it. She's a joy to work with and she's one my favorite leaders in the Chicago arts community.”

-Vino Taylor, Videographer

“When I decided to pursue entrepreneurial work, I knew I needed assistance with professional photographs and building out my website. Immediately, I reached out to Jovan for help. She not only provided me the services I needed but also responded in a timely fashion as she was also open to combining both our creative visions.”

-Devin Niecy, Storyteller | International Speaker | Empath | Artist

‘Jovan's work looks professional but feels unconventional.

Her work provides an experiential quality that is not always found in digital production. I have worked with Jovan several times and plan to do so in the future.”

-Marie Casimir, Djaspora Productions

“I met Jovan through a friend years ago and what inspires me about her is her relentless work ethic to continue to grow. A very humble but immensely talented individual with warmth and honest personality. We've worked on a few things together and she's inspired some of my favorite music moments. She's a serious artist and professional who doesn’t take herself too seriously and I wouldn't hesitate to work with her in any way I can. The GROWTH is inevitable. Keep it up Jovan!”

-TRMNDS MLDY, Hip-Hop Artist
