MATEJ POVŠE

I am a freelance photographer.  Over the past twenty years my work hasregularly been published in Slovene and foreign media (Newsweek magazine,National Geographic magazine, IHT-International Herald Tribune, National dailynewspapers) I have also worked with photo agencies like Capatv Agency and AP.

I have received many prestigious photoawards; LensCulture Exposure award 2016, Beta photo award, photo of the year byEmzin, several awards by the Association of Slovene Journalists, Slovenia PressPhoto award by international panel, as well as awards for multimedia projects(FotoPub).

I have exhibited my work at severalindependent photo exhibitions as well as cooperated in the group exhibitions(CUNY-New York, Derby-Format Festival, Cineast-Luxembourg,Odtujenost-Ljubljana, …)

My continuous professional development isevident in the participation in different photo workshops such as ChristopherMorris, Agency VII, Yurij Kozyrjev, Noor and Klavdij Sluban.

With the feel for aesthetics and subtleobservation, I add new dimensions to the photographs. I don’t only follow thewishes, but through my intervention, I also add the undiscovered and often onlypersonally recognized spaces of comprehension.

To me, photography is not only the printof reality, but also more a field of subjective recording of light.
