These are photos of the peony I got from Elvira. I love shooting flowers that I get from my friends and loved ones. In doing so, I seek to preserve the memory of that happy moment of reception that carries within it a sense of love, respect, and intimacy with the person who gave me the flower. With the way I shoot and the lighting, I want to achieve the timeless beauty of a flower that never withers. To emphasize the delicate structure of the petals I photographed them through the water.
I am a fine art photographer and an Associate Professor of photography at the Faculty of Graphic Arts, University of Zagreb, Croatia. I have been involved in photography for over 25 years. At the beginning of my career, I was engaged mostly in advertising and reportage photography. The last few years I devoted to projects that fall within the field of abstract photography. I earned international recognition for my recent projects Other Worlds, Escape Landscapes and Floating Garden that won many international awards. I have exhibited photographs on over 50 group and 20 independent exhibitions.
