Vanja Jefic - Born and raised in Serbia, Vanja traveled to New York at age 24 without knowing a person here. Aiming to explore his opportunities as a dancer, actor and photographer, he realized after working with numerous New York based photographers that he loved his place behind the camera.
Early on, he gained much of his experience from having his model and actor friends pose for him, which is when he developed the specifics of his point of view in fashion photography. His photography always has a crisp angle and often shows a dreamy, artful rendering of the model he views, from his very personal stance.
