About
Greetings! I'm Saša Huzjak, a passionate photographer originally from Croatia, now rooted in Maribor, Slovenia, Europe, for almost two decades. I am also a husband, father of two energetic boys and a huge music, movie & coffee fan :)
My love affair with photography began in childhood, ignited by a simple point-and-shoot film camera gifted by my late father—an avid photo enthusiast. That initial spark has transformed into an enduring passion that fuels my craft to this day.
Over the years, my photographic pursuits have evolved, transitioning from immersive documentary-style photojournalism and capturing live stage performances to the mastery of light and full scene control within the confines of a photography studio — a part of my craft that currently captivates me the most.
Adaptability defines my approach to photography. Whether orchestrating portraits, directing promotional group photographs, meticulously crafting scenes and lights for advertising-style product shots, or discreetly navigating events where my presence should remain unnoticed (think concerts, theatre, movie sets, and backstage), my versatility ensures a seamless fit for commercial and editorial projects.
I firmly believe that great visuals can make big difference
In a time where smartphone cameras continually advance in quality, the true value of a professional photographer might seem overshadowed. However, the skill to capture poignant moments and compose striking images remains an art mastered through talent and experience. Demanding lighting conditions and intricate setups demand professional-grade equipment and post-production finesse. In this visually-driven era, I strongly believe that exceptional visuals stand out, making an impactful difference.
I hold firm to the belief that compelling visual content — be it striking photographs or other immersive visuals — has the power to elevate and promote individuals, brands, services, products, or events. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to collaborate with you in creating captivating visual narratives that leave a lasting impression!
