Ongoing series of portraits explores the slowly disappearing world of artisans and stories behind their handcraft, that is more than just a skill, it is often family heritage of mastering traditional techniques passed down generation after generation.
The cooper - Mr. Hruskovic is the last generation of handmade barrel makers. He learned this craft from his father and grandfather.

I am a commercial photographer primarily specializing in FOOD, STILL LIFE and LIFESTYLE photography.

CREATING images that capture specific MOODS and EMOTIONS with play of light and shadows.
