Hey!

I'm Matej and I'm a student of Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering Department of Textiles here in Ljubljana. I'm studying graphic design.
However my biggest love is photography. I've been seriously into photography for 2 years now, but I've been interasted in photography for 5 years, and im progressing, with my knowledge and my gear, but I always say its not the gear/equipment that makes a good photographer its his heart and his imagination. I love all the photography styles and techniques, but currently Im more into fashion/glamour/retro/vintage portrait photography.

Every photo that I postprocess (photoshop), has a reason why I did it. I try to find a story or a meaning behind a photo that I'm about to take, and I attempt to visualize the idea as much as I can, whether its a happy tought/memory, loss of a loved one or just an instant inspiration I get at that given moment. I try my best to show other people what I see, feel in a photo without using any words, if I'm successful my goal was achieved. So next time you take a look at one of me photos, take a second and maybe you'll see what I see...


One day a little girl walked up to me and asked me:

"Why do you like taking photos so much?" I answeard
"Because I'm not very good with words, and "I can tell more with a photo then with 1000 words", because I can tell someone how I feel about them, when I can't see that person. Because it is the nearest thing that comes close to love...
