ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I have the opportunity to participate in many of the meetings organised for the "motivation and awakening" of the people. Most of these alleged instructors were great crafty people who with so many beautiful words and exciting promises told their successes to all those who were there to listen to them, many of these "gurus" paid a lot of money to tell hours and hours of motivational sentences. However, the photo simply means that the "guru" or "coach" illuminates his followers like the sun, radiating his wisdom and light on everyone present in the room. He can't be seen, but in reality there is a stage inside that light and he is on the stage talking to people.

AUTHOR
I was born in 1982 in Bosnia and, following my studies and various travels, I moved to Italy - to Tuscany, specifically - where I still live.
After working for several years in the entertainment industry I decided to pursue my passion for photography, a field I have always had a great fascination for, eversince my training in painting and set design.
As a self-taught photographer I tried to develop my own poetic language, which might be able to capture the ultimate essence of reality. Photography interests me as long as it tells something that requires the photographer to be open-minded and to reflect on a peculiar face, on mysterious structures, on people's stories, and on hidden fragments of human intimacy.
For my photographs and their originality, I have received prestigious international awards and recognitions: I won first place three times in "Shoot the frame" and, after that, another first place in Photo Crowd’s "Amateur photographer-sigma"; I was awarded second place as nature photographer in the "Trans-natura" photography competition, and several other recognitions either as honourable mention or commended in "Sony world photography contest", "Ipa", "Nd", "Monochrome awards". My most recent achievement was first place in the black & white category of “I shot it” photography competition.
In February 2020 I launched "Galleria Ambigua" in the historic city center of Arezzo (in Tuscany). It is a contemporary art gallery and a cultural space, of which I am co-director and founder. At Galleria Ambigua, we aim to nurture and promote any artistic and expressive languages that make a truly innovative contribution to our present.
I have also collaborated with various institutions and local authorities to set up art exhibits and curate the graphic design of their catalogs.
