This page features my award-winning work from the Tara National Park photo contest, one of the recognitions most closely connected to my photographic focus on Serbian nature and protected landscapes. Tara is one of the most visually powerful regions in Serbia and photographing Tara it has been nearly a decade of my long-term fieldwork.
The award highlights both the beauty of Tara National Park and my wider commitment to documenting Serbia’s landscapes with care, atmosphere and a strong visual identity while putting culture, vernacular buildings and old traditions in the triangle of my photography.
"Tragom zaboravljenih čobana" - prvo mesto
Sve ređi prizor gonjenja ovaca na počinak nakon ispaše. Jedino štala zna koliko je stanovnika imala tokom svog dugog veka. Dan je odmakao, kao što odmiče i broj čobana na Tari. Da se nadamo jutru, kada će pašnjaci uzvratiti udarac šumama.
"Beli zagrljaj zime" - peto mesto
Iako se ovaj prelepi vidikovac često obilazi i fotografiše, imam razloga da verujem da ovaj prizor ipak nije svakidašnji. Tadašnja zima na minus 30 stepeni osvaja i pruža zagrljaj hladnoće i lepote u isto vreme, jer je to vreme kad sve utihne u zimski san i čišćenje. U iščekivanju takve jake zime, prilažem ovu fotografiju očima javnosti.
