However, instead of attending the Academy he briefly joined the Croatian War of Independence as a volunteer fighting in Župa dubrovačka, and then he started photographing the Siege of Dubrovnik for the Dubrovacki Vjesnik, the Slobodna Dalmacija and the Croatian Ministry of Information, documenting the shelling and its consequences.

Heritage Part of his work, including a series of 12 photos he took just before he was killed, is now part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Dubrovnik. His photographs have been shown in several exhibitions.
