I was born 1.6.1961. in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

I finished elementary and high school in Vitez, and studied in Sarajevo.
So far, I have had 6 solo exhibitions.
I prefer photographing nature and landscapes, but by observing the world around me, I discover many other photographic challenges.
For life motto, I adopted the saying from Andy Rooney: "I've learned … That's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

Between the tangible and the hidden …
between the substance and the incidence of …
These distances are where life takes place.
When life gives space (momentum) to the spirit and lightness of soul,
only then does the air fill the lungs. That is when a person is complete.
