I am very honoured to be shortlisted at Kolga Tbilisi Photo Award in reportage category with my project ”Belgrade Anti-lockdown protest”.
I have a pleasure to be chosen again to attend prestige VII Academy, level 2. Sarajevo Seminar For Documentary and Narrative Practice by the VII Academy
The summer 2020 in Belgrade was marked by a one-week July protests provoked by the announced reintroduction of drastic isolation measures to prevent the spread of the Corona virus pandemic. Since late February Serbian Authorities have been implementing inconsistent, incomprehensible and contradictory anti-pandemic measures that have resulted in the loss of trust in the government and its Crisis Center. In the beginning of the pandemic, the government underplayed the seriousness of the threat labeling Corona “the most laughable virus in […]
This is the \’\’street photo\’\’ assignment, which I done in my hometown Belgrade. Final edit is done by the tutor Christopher Morris who selflessly shares his experience and knowledge with the participants at the vii academy.

I am very lucky to be chosen to attend 12 weeks online Academy held by famous Christopher Morris, Agency VII photographer, and Dr. Walsh who teaches at The New School and New York University about conflict and ethic in photography.
I am very honoured that this year I am winning my second Grand Prix. This time for the photo ”Trapped” taken during July protests in Belgrade. The one-week long anti-government protests caused by a high level of frustration with government measures in dealing with the Covid 19 pandemic took place in July 2020 in front of the Serbian Parliament in Belgrade. The protests were triggered by President’s announcement on reintroducing curfew which had been in place for almost two months […]
I am very happy that my photo won Grand Prix – photo of the year (2019) at the regional Beta agency photo contest. Being a mother of two small boys and a photojournalist requires extra strength and dedication. It is important to always find a way not to miss important events for society and to capture the essence of it. This award is proof that women can be on surface in the photography field dominated by men. Prime Minister Ana Brnabic […]
