This is not just a photography project.
It is a choice.
“If You Look at Me, I Exist” was created to give a voice to those who cannot ask for one.
To tell the deep connection between humans, nature, and animals.
To turn a simple gaze into awareness.
And awareness into action.
My name is Sara Stojković.
I am a fine art photographer and visual storyteller.
For years, I have been working between Italy and Africa, documenting wildlife, nature reserves, rangers, and conservation projects.
Every image comes from a real encounter.
A shared moment.
A gaze between two living beings.
And it is from that moment that the desire to protect is born.
Today, this project is becoming something more.
Over 30% of everything we create (prints, jewelry, events) is already reinvested into wildlife protection and conservation efforts.
But we want to go further.
Because true conservation cannot exist without supporting the people who live alongside wildlife every day.
This fundraiser exists for that reason.
WHAT YOUR SUPPORT WILL MAKE POSSIBLE
Your contribution does not stay on paper.
It reaches the field.
Through this project, we will provide real and tangible support to local communities:
• Access to medical care and healthcare support
• Education and school materials for children
• Essential goods and direct support for families
• Concrete help for communities coexisting with nature every day
At the same time, we will continue to support wildlife protection:
• Conservation projects and protected areas
• Support for rangers and anti-poaching units
Every donation becomes something real, tangible, and visible.
This is not just support.
It is impact.
WHY IT MATTERS
Photography can move people.
But more importantly, it can change the way we see the world.
And when our perspective changes…
responsibility begins.
We are an independent and transparent project.
This means we can show everything we do, honestly and openly.
Every step. Every result. Every real impact.
By supporting this project, you are not just donating.
You are becoming part of it.
And if you choose to…
you can even experience it with us, in the field.
If you look at me… I exist.
