Primož Korošec started his photography path
in his early teens, strongly influenced by skateboarding culture.
Watching skatebording video clips on VCR and stopping them at the exactly right moment was one of the first encounters and as it now seems an important introduction into his still photography work.
Later on, the “presentation of identity” is the
leitmotiv his work is vitally influenced by, deriving from the photographic medium as such.
“Photographic portrait itself is paradoxical - part of the enigma can be attributed to the nature of the ambiguous display of the individual’s identity, caught on the flat surface of a static, framed image”.
His style often features portraits with minimal backgrounds and maximal expressions in order to emphasize the uniqueness of the portrayed.
Residing between Ljubljana and Hamburg he travels a lot and finds immense pleasure in meeting people.
As he likes to mention, his relationship with photography is just as confusing as himself. Still bothered by not being able to clearly answer the question why he really photographs this is just an ice berg of photography oriented frustration. Telling the truth and the sense of taking photographs are the other ones.
