Conversations with photographers about their work, creative process and approach to making images.
Interviews
Amanda Gril has worked with portraiture since 2003, but the most revealing part of her practice is the purpose she gives the camera. She calls her boudoir work “Visual Therapy”.
Interviews
Maruša Kovač photographs nature in a way that feels dreamy and vibrant without being crowded, looking for quiet shifts in weather and the relationship between a human figure and a landscape.
Interviews
Rado Markovič Hribernik photographs the meeting point between Slovenian landscape and built heritage. His real challenge is finding the angle, light and energy that stop a familiar place becoming a repeated postcard.
Interviews
Ana Jelic photographs cities, people, animals and the relationships between them, staying close to the reality she encountered rather than transforming it. She talks about beginnings in Belgrade, documentary honesty and following an inner need.
Interviews
Matic Hladnik grew up in Kranjska Gora and once imagined reaching the Olympic Games as a ski jumper. When his athletic path changed, the ambition found another route through photography.
Interviews
Gašper Lešnik learned photography through film, family guidance and the example of a local photojournalist. In journalistic work he avoids manipulation and expects the event to carry its own meaning; in street work he allows a more cinematic treatment.
Interviews
Alja Polajžer photographs landscapes, cities and people while travelling, and describes the process as a mixture of seeing and capturing. She talks about the course that got her past automatic settings, and why equipment is not the point.
Interviews
Maja Halas remembers finding an analogue camera at four years old, following her brother around the house until she could preserve a moment. People remain the centre of her photography.
Interviews
Tjaša Kovač’s relationship with photography began with a compact analogue camera and lessons from her father. Her guiding idea, My Way, is a commitment to make images that reflect her own vision rather than somebody else’s influence.
Interviews
Carlos André Viana is most comfortable when people are not performing for the camera. He photographs travel, music, corporate events and architecture with a photojournalistic eye for unscripted reactions.
Interviews
Carolina Esteban brings the trained eye of a fashion designer into photography. Her knowledge of fabric, volume and construction informs her portraits, while travel and street photography give her room to work with what cannot be planned.
Interviews
Anja Papuga’s photographic story begins with a question from her brother: why did she need to photograph everything? A trip to Thailand with her grandmother turned that instinct into a deliberate path toward photojournalism.
Interviews
Photography runs through Miquel Veit’s family history. People are the centre of his work, but not as fixed subjects — he looks for the unguarded exchange in a smile, in anxiety before an event, in emotion in a crowd.
Interviews
Violeta Arriaga discovered photography while studying fine arts and continued with specialist training in image-making. Her work moves between artistic portraiture, film stills and travel photography.
Interviews
Eylül Ezik began with literature and the desire to tell stories, then discovered the stories she wanted to make were visual. Her editorial photographs feel cinematic because they are built around mood, location and narrative.
Interviews
Tijana Jankovic-Jevric works where photography, journalism and cinema meet. Even a simple portrait, she argues, needs something to be happening inside it.
Interviews
When I invited Alexia Liakounakou to talk about her work, I was interested in the breadth of her eye. She moves between the human body, architecture and documentary observation without forcing those subjects into one narrow category.
Interviews
Monika Baro grew up in Transylvania’s Carpathian Mountains and later built a creative life in Budapest as a photographer, goldsmith and jewellery designer. Her work is guided by a simple ambition: find and show beauty without overcomplicating it.
Interviews
Elena Diaz Rodriguez carried a camera long before formal training was affordable, photographing travel and nature while raising her family. Her images look for sensations and viewpoints that daily routines teach us to overlook.
Interviews
Nourhanne Ibrahim grew up close to visual storytelling and began photographing Cairo’s details with a phone at fourteen. From that busy city she developed a style she describes in two words: minimal and unique.
Interviews
Tijana Lubura bought her first analogue camera at fifteen and never put it down. She describes her style as photography with story and soul, built through street, conceptual and portrait work.
Interviews
Jose Navarro has worked across photography and video for more than fifteen years. The part of the medium that first attracted him was reportage: entering a subject, understanding a conflict or community and describing reality for other people.
Interviews
Roberto Pazzi moved from engineering and backpacking into award-winning travel photography. He works close to reportage, using faces, clothing, work and landscape to describe traditions rather than isolating people as curiosities.
Interviews
Conchi Martínez came to photography with a mathematician’s discipline and a lifelong fascination with images. Her editorial travel work and long-term personal projects retain something systematic without losing imagination.
