How did you get into photography?
It was random, but I started to get interested in travelling and from that, I started to capture some scenes through my lens. I love to experiment in any way (for example, I love taking photos of puddle reflections or architectural patterns).
Around 2020, I had my photos exhibited in Manchester and started to become interested in different photography projects.
Do you have any photographic qualifications or accolades?
I had some of my photos exhibited in Selfridges as part of a photography project with the 42nd Street at The Horsefall. Also, a local website, The Manc, announced me as the Photographer of the Year in 2023.
Before that, I had a group exhibition with other photographers.
What's the first photograph you remember seeing or shooting?
It was a random sky view.
What do you love about photography?
To be honest, it’s all about the creativity and enjoying what you love to capture. I love to be creative, taking photos and experimenting with different styles.

What do you wish you'd learned about photography earlier?
Long exposure. I think I would’ved learned more about it and how to get creative with it.
Where is your favourite place for photography?
Good question, sometimes Media City in Salford for sunsets, sometimes my hometown for beautiful architecture and sometimes Dalmatia for gorgeous views.
Do you have a favourite photographic technique?
I love this question! It’s a phone photo trick for reflection. I turn my phone camera upside down to capture the image of reflections more easily. The main thing is to find something shiny or puddles. Also, long exposure on an iPhone.
Can you briefly outline your approach to image processing?
For long exposures with an iPhone: I take a photo of something, let’s just say of a tram, using the Live Image option. Then, I open the image on my phone, click on ‘Live’ in the top left of the screen, and choose ‘Long Exposure’ before saving the image. Then I open the image in Lightroom and boost the colour and tweak the contrast and highlights etc before I saving it.
What's your favourite lens?
When I had a camera, I mostly used a zoom such as the 24-105mm because of the quality of the images.

Definitely top-notch editing skills.

Tell us a little about yourself.
I was born in Subotica in Serbia and I moved to the UK in 2017. I studied fashion first and later got interested in art and then photography. I love to travel and capture the places I visit. I live in Manchester, and I’m now going to Uni to study Business and Tourism Management there.
I’ve had a few of my photos exhibited, shot small projects, and I’ve collaborated with few artists.
I was featured in the High Vis Festival book as I’d shot a few photos there.
Also, The Manc announced me as the Photographer of the Year in 2023.
