About Me
I am a senior specialist in forensic photography with over 30 years of professional experience, including 13 years in supervisory and management positions, serving international justice, humanitarian operations, and rule of law missions. My career has been dedicated to producing high-quality forensic documentation in complex legal, where accuracy, integrity, and ethical responsibility. My work has directly contributed to criminal investigations, judicial proceedings, and accountability processes related to serious human rights violations.
I have held positions with leading international and governmental institutions, including the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the United Nations Office for Missing Persons and Forensic Medicine (OMPF), and the Forensic Medicine Department of the European Union Mission in Kosovo (EULEX). In these roles, I worked within multidisciplinary law enforcement and forensic teams, collaborating closely with forensic pathologists, anthropologists, archaeologists, investigators, prosecutors, and legal professionals. My responsibilities consistently demanded strict adherence to the evidentiary standards required by international courts.
My technical expertise encompasses the entire field of forensic photography, including crime scene documentation, autopsies, forensic examinations, custody and detention cases, and missing persons investigations. I actively participated in investigations into mass graves and other serious human rights violations, including documenting mass executions, exhumations, and the recovery and identification of human remains. In all contexts, I ensure that photographic evidence is systematic, accurate, and reliable, thus meeting the requirements of investigations and legal proceedings.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with multidisciplinary teams from over twenty countries. This international experience has demanded a high level of cultural sensitivity, adaptability, and professionalism, particularly in post-conflict, politically sensitive, and resource-constrained contexts. I am accustomed to working in challenging field conditions while scrupulously adhering to ethical standards, chain of custody requirements, and preserving the integrity of evidence.
I currently work as an independent consultant, providing technical advisory services and training programs in forensic photography to international agencies, forensic institutions, and human rights organizations. My consulting services include assessing forensic documentation practices, developing standard operating procedures, and designing and delivering specialized training tailored to operational and institutional needs. The main objective of this work is to strengthen local and institutional capacities to produce forensic photographic documentation that complies with international legal standards, while respecting humanitarian principles and the dignity of victims.
In all my assignments, my professional approach is characterized by rigor, impartiality, and a firm commitment to ethical practice. I consider forensic photography not only as a technical discipline but also as an essential tool in the pursuit of justice, accountability, and truth in contexts of serious crimes and human rights violations. My photographic work has been published in scientific articles, academic journals, magazines, and books in the fields of forensic anthropology and bioarchaeology.
I currently work as an independent consultant and am available for short- or long-term contract assignments, depending on the requirements of the mission, in support of national or international judicial processes, forensic operations, or humanitarian missions in complex and sensitive environments.
