Ruin 4 Photograph

I am photographer based in Croatia, where I currently live and work. I have been a photographer for more than 15 years. Through photography, I explore different subjects, including portraits, documentary photography, moments of everyday life, different landscapes, environments and nature. My work investigates the limits of photography as a documentary pursuit and personal narratives of the subjects photographed. In creating an image, I developed my particular style, using the light to explore the invisible identity of the subjects and to reveal the imaginery world beyond them. In the centre of my photography work are the impressions and emotions which lead my creative process to the point where I do not give the sole image of the subject, but also the sensations produced by the subject. To transform the ordinary point of view into the imaginery, I very often use double exposure, which enables me to explore the limits between the documentary and fine art. While I love shooting with digital, I still often use 35 mm film because of the particular beauty and excitement found in the analog photography which, in my view, always hold a special kind of mystery within. My particular style of seeing and capturing the atmosphere in an artistic, yet meticulously researched ways, with the great attention to details and moments, has brought me to become an official photographer for various international artistic and cultural events and festivals with which I regularly collaborate over the years. Some of them are: ANIMAFEST (World Festival of the Animated Film), ORGAN VIDA (International Photography Festival), ZAGREB FILM FESTIVAL (International Film Festival), INMusic Festival (Open Air Music Festival) and many others. My work has also been featured in numerous group exhibitions in Croatia and in the region.
