If you expect a credible description of myself, you’re in for a surprise. Dax is short for my last name (it’s in the url), but my name is really Luka. I’ve grown to hate this name, when I’ve grown to hate myself and love others a lot more. The good ones of course.
I’m old. I adopted this age specification after realizing that the number is way bigger than it should be at the point, where I am right now (mostly professionally). 
I’ve been a photographer for about 13 years and I think it’s time I take up knitting Started off by taking pictures of lightning strikes (no, there’s no beginner’s category in my world), chasing thunder storms with my bike (how practical), then landscapes and ordinary Photo Club stuff, until I got more and more interested in photojournalism. But I made one crucial mistake. I was looking at photojournalism abroad, Magnum, Getty, Reuters, VII and especially National Geographic. No studies of photojournalism in this wannabe country, so I took that photo out and took up journalism, while focusing myself on photojournalism in every project or research I had to do. Bought books on photojournalism (love the one from Kenneth Kobre), spent hours and hours browsing the award-winning authors and top photojournalism works.
And how far I’ve come? I have a BA in English and journalism, but don’t ask what my diploma was about. That’s the real testimony of my fleeting mind. It had to do with the media, yes, but was nowhere near journalism or English. I had to write two – one was the in-depth look at all aspects of American horror movies from it’s beginnings to the present day, and how the genre developed, the other one was comparing the short works of E. A. Poe and Stephen King. Yeah… I didn’t tell you a few things about me yet. I’ll keep it short: I also write horror novels when I have time. That didn’t happen in at least four years, so my best thing is still “in production”. I am also a founding member of a creative team Majestic 5, we make music videos, tv shows, presentations etc. I’m a screenwriter.
As for my distant gaze at foreign trones of photojournalism and documetary photography, well, I now contribute to all three Slovenian editions of National Geographic (Junior, Traveler and Magazine), still working for the Slovenian Fishing Association, published my work in Adria Airways In-flight Magazine, Element & Zapik (student magazines), covered major sports events for Slovenia Times, online media, as well as the work I did for Askeladden Norway… Well, there’s another deal in the U.S. and several prizes, but I’d rather stop here, before I start hating myself for shameless self-promotion. I hate that.
Did my share of travelling, plan to do a lot more. And as for my personality, I have a saying: “Heaven won’t have me, and Hell’s afraid I’ll take over.”
