Alan Matuka

I was born in Zagreb, Croatia where I lived until early twenties. Photography was my passion since my childhood, and also a main reason for moving to London where I studied and begun working as a photographer.
Since 1995 I worked in London as a freelance photographer focusing on advertising, still life and portraiture. In 2001 I decided to move back to Zagreb, looking for new challenges both as a fine art and an advertising photographer. Over the last 20 years I worked on numerous personal projects as well as developed diverse commercial portfolio. Most of my clients come from advertising background and therefore I had a chance to work with some great designers and art directors, working as a part of a team and creating various campaigns.
Personal work has always been a very important aspect of my work, giving me a chance to develop my own style and improve my skills. Over the years I experimented with different photographic techniques and ways of expressing myself through this light-painting medium.
I am member of Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain and Association of Croatian Artists.
