About Me

Born and raised in Slovenia. Studied and moved to London afterwords. Ended up in Beijing, China where I am currently based. Working as a documentary, potrtait photographer.
Best part of my passion - photography is that I manage to photograph -meet multimillionaires one day and taking 37 hour train ride to remote parts of China and photograph lives of illegal coalminers the other.

One of the most interesting project that I am still working on to become a book was a 3D portrait project that I have shoot all around North Korea. It was to surreal to it would be to long to write about it but I can tell you everything when we meet in person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited 57 countries so far, meeting many amazing Couch Surfers!

Recently I was visiting Philippines and stayed on a boat in bay near El Nido for couple of days. I will never forget the night with the sky full of stars when I jumped off the boat to swim in a fluorescent plankton that was surrounding out floating home. Well.. at least until the captain came and has told me to get out of the water since the light could attract the sea snakes...
