AndreJa Ravnak - Born on 155th day of the year, when Nasa published the mysterious photo of face on Mars, I was connected to creativity from early childhood. I spent my free time drawing, painting, designing, discovering nature and science. I could never satisfy enough all my curiosity and it was a rather difficult decision to choose one study, one proffession only. I turned up an architect, which is thought to be a very creative, but is in fact also pretty bureaucratic proffesion.
Photography has always been an important part of me, at first especially for one reason: those frozen moments make me remember the flow and details of my life. I always loved travel, so I gradually and spontaneously developped a feeling for photographic expression. A few years ago I got hit by the fact, that I actually see my inner and outer world as frames or pictures. That, somehow turned my photographic way in my present direction. I joined the photographic club SVIT in december 2008 and my photographic path grew really rapidly since then. So far I had several solo exhibitions and joined some group exhibitions, organised photographic projects, earned photographic titles KMF FZS (master candidate in Slovenian photographic society) and EFIAP, won quite some photographic awards (see the "awards" section) and joined the jury in some national and international photographic exhibitions.
I love to experiment and try new ways of expression, I have a lot of ideas on my mind, but the duties of life leave me not much time for photographic projects, which basically remain my love and my food for soul in my spare time. Need I say, that I would really like to contribute to a better world with my expressions once, so I think there is really a lot more to do in the future.
