I am a photographer creating along the border between Slovenia and Italy—a place where two languages, two rhythms, and countless stories intertwine. My style is minimalist, poetic, and gently nostalgic, yet I always adapt it to the person I am photographing. I believe that everyone has their own tone, their own energy, and their own way they wish to be seen.

I gained experience in Florence, working in a photography studio, and later in Ljubljana, where I immersed myself in a variety of photographic styles and approaches. Today, I find myself returning to my home region, where I can most naturally bring together my perspective, my stories, and the people for whom photography truly matters.

A part of my artistic practice is dedicated to creating sequential self-portraits in the form of GIFs or collages, through which I explore movement, time, and personal narrative. I often accompany these images with a short reflection or poem that I write myself—my way of giving each photograph not only a visual presence, but also a voice and an emotional resonance.
