Three months of our weekly photo blog! Time flies, that’s for sure.

Lately we’ve been busy preparing our first table-book, and soon you’ll be able to see it in KC GRAD, the best multifunctional space in Belgrade. Also, we were interviewed for Radio 202, so if you understand Serbian, click to listen.

Now, on with the photographs we’ve prepared for you this week!

Finally we are all in Belgrade and still trying to stay raw. After two features and a blog dedicated to Press Photo Serbia 2010. it’s time for you to see some fresh images in our weekly photo blog. Also, we are working on a non-commercial book (currently an edition of one copy) that will present BelgradeRaw to all the visitors and passers-by in KC Grad. Stay tuned.

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).

Andrej still in London, Nemanja in Poland, sent a train photo he had taken while departing, I was in the village of Bukovac, so we’re mostly out of Belgrade; yet, some travel-flavoured photos are still in for the showing. Cheers!

Choosing from the photographs for this week’s photo blog, I strongly felt like I was watching scenes from different movies, even more so than usually. So, I wanted to share some of my “plots”, but thought that would be too literal. Then, I got another idea – I’ll give you the soundtracks. Yes, I know – I hate music on photography sites too. But I think in this case it adds to the atmosphere of each one.

I’ve embedded the soundtracks here, so each of four tracks relates to its photo. You don’t need to play the entire song, around a minute is enough. I hope you’ll enjoy it – all comments appreciated!

Busy weekend behind us, we were preparing submissions for Press Photo Serbia and it’s a mighty tedious process. Andrej is in London now, and is going to go to Third Floor Gallery in Cardiff some time soon, where he’ll meet the legendary photographer Joni Karanka. Expect seeing new Belgrade Raw stickers around town soon and some new features on the website, too!
