Photography / Video / Creative Direction

I'm a photographer, videographer, and visual storyteller with a background in marketing and international business. After graduating from RIT Croatia in 2016 with a major in International Business and a co-major in Marketing, I spent the past decade blending strategy with creativity—turning concepts into visuals that resonate.

Early in my career, I worked alongside and under experienced creatives, learning the rhythm of production from the ground up. Over time, I found my own style: cinematic, emotion-driven, and rooted in mood, color, and authentic moments.

One of my key professional roles was at Rimac Automobili, where I worked as a Creative Content Specialist. There, I combined my understanding of brand storytelling with the fast-paced demands of the automotive industry—translating complex ideas into compelling photo and video content.

Today, my scope of work spans portraits, music, travel, automotive, and corporate projects, with clients ranging from global brands to independent artists. In 2024, I collaborated with Fujifilm on Soundscape of Croatia, a unique visual and musical journey filmed across the country. I’ve also worked with Scenic, a luxury cruise and river company, traveling the Arctic, Mediterranean, and Europe while capturing stories in ever-changing environments.

While I work across a variety of formats, I always return to portraiture. There’s something timeless about working with people—trying to capture a feeling, a glance, a quiet truth. I gravitate toward natural light, or at least light that feels natural, because I believe the best images come from a sense of presence and ease.

Outside of work, I’m usually on the move—hiking mountain trails, riding my motorcycle, or exploring new places that spark inspiration and offer a fresh perspective. That spirit of curiosity and movement fuels everything I do, both behind the camera and beyond it.
