More than photography
It’s about seeing yourself, free and alive, and full of light in Croatia.

This isn’t a photoshoot
It’s a moment of freedom & adventure.

Between the wild nature and soft light of Croatia,
you remember what it feels like to be fully alive.

You’ll return home with images that hold that feeling
pure, timeless, alive.

Stories I tell through my lens

hey there!

I'M ELMA

YOUR GO-TO PHOTOGRAPHER

Photographer, storyteller and lover of nature.

For more than 25 years I’ve been photographing people the same way I capture landscapes, real, pure, and filled with light.
No posing, no pretending. Just you, exactly as you are.

I live in Croatia, surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, and the Adriatic sea.
Here, I create photographs you don’t just see,  you feel them.
Moments that breathe freedom, colour, and the quiet joy of being alive.

Always pure. Always real. Always you.
