ABOUT ME
The Approach
Photographic techology as a tool is very important, but more important is the knowlege and ability to recognise, to capture and to transform something interesting into something special.
Every motorbike is a marvel of engineering and human creativity. Shape and sound, vibrations, movement, colors, contrasts, patterns, curves, energy and emotions. The Rider becomes one with it.
Tomaž wants to capture those precious moments in his unique way. Using his broad and diverse photographic experience in documentary, sports and portrait photography. Always on the search for new and interesting impressions.
We believe, that our bikes have souls. We are soulmates.
