I started my career thinking I wanted to be a lawyer, but something was always missing. And that something was creativity. Playing with my camera was first an escape and a hobby, but soon it became my career and my calling. After graduating in Cinematography and Photography at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb, I founded my company - PHOTOPIA.

Why Photopia? Because Photopia describes vision in bright light, but it also combines everything that I am, a photographer in search of utopia, an artist and a craftsman.

In my art I like playing with concepts and in my professional work I like playing with my clients' ideas.

Based in Zagreb, Croatia.
