EXPERT JURY

MARE MILIN
Hi. My name is Mare Milin. I was born in 1973 in Zadar, Croatia. After high school graduation, I moved to Zagreb in 1992, and studied product design. During my studies, in 1994 I started to learn the art of photography at the university, and very soon got my first job as a theater photographer. Since then, that kind of story just went on and on. I have never become anybody else.
After 25 years, I am still a professional photographer, and since 2002 and 2006 a member of important artistic associations in Croatia. I have won several prizes, was a part of a certain number of exhibitions, worked for various agencies, theatres, dance companies, publishing houses (music, magazines, books) and all sorts of clients, however, mainly from the fashion and advertising world, since my primary interest is people- portraiture photography.
Still, my soul sometimes gets overwhelmed by the things I do daily. Then I leave my camera for a while and again, not thinking at all, I find myself taking pictures of the surroundings and nature, without people in them, in my way, treating open space as a room.
I will take photos as long as I breathe and feel.
