Photographer | Filmmaker | Visual Anthropologist

I was four when I made my first video: two seconds of a plant and my mother, shot on one of the cameras my father brought home. He was a national television cameraman, and despite the scarcity that shaped much of our early life, we always had cameras, tapes and photographs. Daily life was always recorded and the instinct to notice, keep, and document shaped everything.

I began collecting gestures, rituals, violence, and inherited grief, in the house and in the Balkans, where history seeps into everyday life.

I now work at the intersection of documentary film, photography, and visual anthropology. My work often blends contemporary portraits with archival materials, field recordings, and journal fragments, weaving together stories about migration, family, survival, and care. Some projects are long-term and personal, others are urgent and political, but in all of them, I’m drawn to the same thing: a way of seeing that preserves the ordinary before it disappears.

Exhibited and published internationally. Collaborations include cultural institutions, NGOs, and media organizations, alongside workshops in photography and film.

Currently developing a solo exhibition and a book.

Based in Belgrade.
Available for commissions and collaborations.
