BEHIND THE LENS

LOVIEW, from a view of love.

My name is Sara and I am the photographer behind Loview.

Human connections and emotions were always in the forefront in my storytelling approach to photography. The essence of what makes a person an individual.

In all honesty, the love for being behind the lens stems from the urge of not being in front of it. However going through life with at least one camera in hand keeps my mind at peace, knowing the memories I capture will live on for generations ahead.

I would describe my style as true to life and natural, taking on a documentary approach. Getting to know the people I work with is what I prioritise in all my client relationships the most. I would dare to say it is a basis to bringing out the most genuine emotions and connections. I strive to portray the stories of people as an observer, bystander to what already is your essence.

I come from a small town in Slovenia, called Maribor.

My first camera was a polaroid I got for Christmas when I was only 10 years old. I remember I was actually quite upset with Santa, since I specifically asked for it NOT to be a polaroid. Little did I know I would be obsessively purchasing film packs and albums for all my polaroid pictures 20 years later.

I hold my dad responsible of introducing me to the world of cameras. His interest was enough to keep me hooked as well at a young age, I suppose.

My real venture into the world of photography was a bit later in life though, when I enrolled into the Academy of Fine arts and Design in Ljubljana to major in Photography.

I slowly but surely realised that the aspect that intrigues me the most within the realm of taking pictures is portraiture and documentation. Combining both in the essence of it comes down to what I love doing the most today - documenting love stories in all shapes and form.

Allow me to create heirlooms for your beloved and bring your vision to life!

I shoot with 3 Sony a7III cameras, 2 main ones and a backup and my main prime lenses - 24mm and 35mm Sony G-masters. I also use a Zeiss 55mm and a 85mm one for larger spaces where I need a bit more distance. I use three Godox V1 flashes and have plenty of batteries and SD cards in my arsenal, so I don’t miss a beat.
