Matjaž Krivic (1972) is a documentary photographer capturing long-term stories of people and places. For 25 years, he has been covering the face of the earth in his intense, personal and aesthetically moving style, portraying parts of the world characterised by traditions, social unrest and religious devotion. Recently, he has been focusing on conservation and environmental issues, acting as an advocate for a greener future through his work.
His work and multimedia projects were exhibited in galleries, museums, open-air exhibitions in Slovenia and across the world, at international photo festivals like La Gacilly Photo, Les Rencontres d’Arles and Visa pour l’image, and were widely published around the world by numerous national and international media outlets including National Geographic, BBC, Wired, Boston Globe, Geo, Guardian, Stern, Spiegel, Le Figaro, Le Monde, Newsweek, GQ, Internationale, D-La Repubblica, Wall Street Journal, Forbes and many others. Krivic has won several prestigious awards, including World Press Photo, Picture of the Year International and Lens Culture.
Krivic has been judging several international photo competitions, occasionally leading photography workshops around the world, and has co-created the first Bolivian photo festival FotoFestival Manzana1, of which he is the creative director.
