Some fanfare

(photographers photographed and vice versa)

We’re happy to announce that we’ve been quite successful in this years Press Photo Serbia competition. Darko has won a special jury award for his series of Roma portraits (Gazela youngsters – our latest photo feature) and Luka has won an award for best photo in the ‘Art’ category for this photo from the festival Kids’ Patch. At least a dozen of Milovan’s photos have been selected for the exhibition, including a selection of photos from his Belgrade Raw feature - Biden meets Belgrade. Nemanja was also represented with 4 photos from his trip to United States last summer and we’ve had a pleasure to preview the book Acdcnyc he made from the photos from the trip. I’m sure we would’ve had the pleasure to see some of Andrej’s works at the exhibition, too, but he missed the whole thing, submissions and the show – we’re starting to miss him, so maybe it’s time to come back from London, as nice as it may be.

We are also happy to congratulate Sanja Knezevic on winning the Grand Prix of the competition and Matt Luton of Dvafoto for the prize for the best photo in the “News” category.  The exhibition itself is an improvement over the last, at least I feel so. Less cheap shots and less politics related stuff (probably some connection there) and more involved and long-lasting personal projects. All in all I think it’s quite worth a look (it’s currently in Belgrade’s Artget gallery on the Republic Square and it’s going to travel around Serbia in the following months).
