My Bio
Ciril Jazbec (1987) was born in Slovenia, which is where he first took up photography and visual storytelling. His desire to expand his horizons led him to London where he studied MA Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the London College of Communication. He is drawn towards stories that reach out and touch you, making you stop, think and take action in the midst of our ever-changing world.
Moved by the story of the disappearing islands of Kiribati, Ciril had endeavored to capture the essence of the place whilst that remains possible. Through encounters with the locals, activists and the President, Ciril addresses environmental issues and offers a testament to the spirit of the people.
Ciril is currently based in London, UK.

The story of Kiribati mirrors the modern life in many developing Pacific countries nations that have fallen to hardship due to global warming and rising sea levels. Kiribati is a small island nation of 33 atolls spread out in the South Pacific; the area is the size of Alaska but the amount of dry land could fit within Manhattan. Inhabited by about 100,830 people, Kiribati is among the world's poorest countries.Kiribati aroused my curiosity after I'd read an interview with Anote Tong, the president of the small island nation, who warned about his country becoming uninhabitable due to the rising sea levels and increasing salination.

Once in a while the planets align and I get to do a project purely for my own heart and soul. I put a lot of myself in all my work, but such a project is all that more personal and gratifying.The western-coloured story pictures a girl searching for her lost friend. The inspiration came from a movie trailer, True Grit by the Coen brothers. In the movie, the main protagonist loses her father and sets out to find his murderer. I was not looking to do a fashion series, but rather a a series of western memoir photos, inspired by parts of the movie.The photos were shot in a single day, on different locations in Italy, near the Slovenian bord...

Your work is artistic and meaningful, it inspires. Have you thought about or perhaps done some work on film?
Wonderful work you have here 
Dear Ciril, I really admire your work. Your Kiribati and Waiting to Move series really hold up a mirror for us all showing the frightening effects of global warming and how it affects whole communities. Both content and technique in this series are very impressive.
I already followed your work earlier, as a professional photographer and a parttime teacher in a professional photography school in Belgium one of my students recently chose you as an inspirational photographer to introduce to the rest of the class.
