These images, although perfectly composed in black and white, give the viewer an immediate and strong sense of pathos. This feeling is the result of the obscure connection between the subject of the portrait and their environment. This association is immediately identifiable and at the same time not easily understood. Following in the footsteps of Diane Arbus, Primoz takes a side turn using a strong and repetitive compositional rigour. He concentrated on characters that society considers different. Considered as disturbing and often negative because of their uniqueness, these individuals are photographed in a dark atmosphere, one that forces the viewer to immediately admit the prejudices they have against those that are considered unique.
