giving back to the arts
Make it stand out
Working within the arts has always been a big part of my life and it has been personally rewarding on many levels.. Over the years I’ve gifted numerous professional cameras, lenses, and gear to photographers with a special eye, photobooks to a ballet company of their work in documentary images, provided funding to dancers for training to be the very best at what they do, and volunteered my time providing my photography services to clothing designers needing assistance with images for branding and advertising. Whatever it may be, I am proud to support other artists in whatever way I can. I do it not to receive anything back, but to ensure the spirit of the artistic community is always present. Community is something that I have discovered with so many creative minds in Belgrade, and I treasure the friendships and bonds that were formed with these partnerships. The artists I work with are a huge part of my daily inspiration and motivation to being better at what I do within my own work.
I’ll leave you with what I call my “mission statement”; Life isn’t about getting and having. It’s about giving and being”
