CLIMATE CHANGES- INTIMATE FEELINGS“ I grew up surrounded by nature, by its authenticity and brutality. I assumed nature’ s graphic style – strong contrasts, clean lines, multilevelness. I feel overwhelmed by nature. By the climate changes it has been showing. By our primal feelings, directing us into the closest intimacy possible.
TRADITION- MODERNITY“ How do traditional communities live? How is their tradition facing the modern world? How can my story become inspiring? How to create a positive, constructive story? How to identify possible solutions? I want to show the world things such as gratitude, solidarity, respect. These things give me drive. Searching for hope that illustrates changes.”
TECHNIQUE- A MOMENT“ The technical side of photography is very important to me. I always try everything my equipment is able to perform and I always wait for the best capturing moment, of course. Intuition.”
The consistency of one story- The dynamics between stories“ I always jumped from project to project. Now I feel it is time for long-term stories. I challenge myself with consistency, I experiment with the pace.”
Personal projects- Commercial projects“ It is important for me to find a good balance. Personal projects are an inner journey and an inspiration, the commercial are an exceptional blend of interesting people and dynamics causing the birth of magic.”

I always assumed Slovenia was a post-Soviet hellhole, but it turns out it’ s the 26th most developed country in the world( only 5 below Britain.) Huh. There’ s your geography lesson of the day.
