Thanks for visiting, I am Milos Smoljanic. Born in Belgrade in '83.
Graduated in finance and behind the lens. Environment-driven and full-time pilgrim.
I've been photographing since '97 back in the film & dark room days, where every picture needed full care & attention.
I am a Serbia-based photographer behind Thru Serbia, a long-term project dedicated to documenting the country through landscapes, culture, history, nature and place-based visual storytelling. As a avid nature lover and hiker I managed to blend both of my loves into a singular project that is now named Thru Serbia.
Over the years, my work has been recognized through photography awards, exhibitions and media mentions and I continue to build an archive that reflects the richness and diversity of Serbia while building my own personal visual style.
My approach combines documentary sensitivity with an artistic eye for light, composition and atmosphere. I photograph both personal and commissioned work, including nature, tourism, editorial and selected commercial projects. Through this site, I share my portfolio, achievements and ways to collaborate, whether for publications, exhibitions, print orders or photography services in Serbia.

Life is a gift, accept it, live strong and with joy to the fullest, with respect.
