his adventurous life in Australia

. Bran has always had

a close relationship with

art , nature and the art of

nature . He loved to create ,

write , illustrate or dance . As

a teenager he got involved

in national folk dances and

joined dance and music

folk ensembles . Later in his

dancing career he became

a professional dancer in the city of Bratislava , Slovakia . After a few years Bran left dancing , and just travelled . He was a gadabout , a knight of the road . After 2000 , the time he spent in his home country became increasingly rare . Although from time to time lacking his passport , Bran never forgot his camera . From 2006 onwards , photography began to be his main source of revenue . He commenced his career

as a photographer working for a company based in Florida , an exciting job that gave him great opportunities to travel all around the world . The experiences from his travels were capitalised with a new career in journalism . Bran recently graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Design at the Billy Blue College of Design in Brisbane and continues to pursue his creative career Down Under .
