Photography started to interest me in 2008. Soon I got my very first DSLR camera and that was the time I really started to explore the world of lights, shadows, and shades. Over the past years I've learnt a lot, and photography is definitely my favourite hobby of all I've had.

In summer 2014 my friend borrowed me her old analog camera, Zenit ET, and I quickly fell for film photography. Few months later I bought my own analog SLR, Zenit, on a photo fair in Zagreb. Later I found my mother's old analog Nikon camera, which is significantly lighter so I'm carrying it around and am always very excited to see the developed results. I'm focusing on film photography for its retro - vintage hint. I also experiment with expired films so the photographs can turn out to be a real surprise.

My first exhibition was held in Lendava (Bánffy centre), then next one in Murska Sobota (MIKK), my work was exhibited multiple times in Dobrovnik, I also participated in a intercultural project Eurodynamics and had an exhibition when participants had a public performance in Lendava and then a few years later, my photographs took part in Eurodynamics group exhibition in Slovakia. A set of eight black and white photos I call II ("two") is still set in Lendava's café Retro Plus. I occasionally photograph events, concerts or festivals nearby.

I started as a macro enthusiast. Lately I've been working on portraits and low light photography. In 2017 I graduated at Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in Maribor (Media communications). In my diploma thesis I wrote and did a project on low-light photography. In 2020 I worked at Cultural and Artistic Association Transformator as a producer and PR.
