Hello!

I am Mark and I shoot people

Aside from shooting people, my biggest hobby is petting big leaves and looking smart while holding the camera

No, I am not wearing glasses, and yes, pretending you don’t know you’re being photographed can make a nice Facebook profile photo… works like a charm

As you already know, my name is Mark. I am a 25 year old camera hauling parent disappointment, failed Law student and a successful portrait, fashion, and travel photographer / photo retoucher from Belgrade, Serbia.

  • If we were to believe my best friends.



My photography adventure started in 2012 with a small camera and a big dream, and to be honest, it wasn't quite the dream of choosing photography as a main career, as the financial prospect of photography didn't sound promising for a young guy who's about to enter the University.

Fast forward to 2018, and I am running my own photography business, traveling the world, and living a life full of experiences I've never dreamt of having. So what changed?

I've decided to give a chance to my wildest dreams, to abolish the idea of what I was getting ready to become, abandon the ordinary life in pursuit of adventure, make some hard decisions, and devote myself to this beautiful art. I gave everything to the camera, and it gave me all back.

If you want to know more about how I accomplished this, you can follow my journey on Instagram and Facebook, where I write daily about photography, retouching, developing a business and traveling.
