A number of newspapers and blogs around the world noticed him after his Le Petit Prince series, where he photographed a boy with muscular dystrophy doing various things that he’ll never be able to do in real life (e.g. play basketball, climb stairs etc). Matej lost his right arm and eye when he was injured by some explosive devices scattered around in his village post WWII. He strives to bring photography as close as possible to people with special needs. He also set up a Institute of Photographic Therapy where he offers workshops and educates others in the field of photographic therapy.
