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.
