Behind the lens

TIJANA DJINDJIC
I am an art photographer, born in 1984 in Beograd, SFR Yugoslavia.
Now, I live in Beograd, Republic of Serbia.

Faculty of Applied Arts is the place where I obtained my MFA, it is Belgrade’s Art University, department for Applied graphics & Photography, graduated with highest honors as the best student in generation 2010. Not that it matters (here, in Serbia).
Faculty of Political Sciences where I studied also, gave me an interesting perspective into things and before that, High School for design in Belgrade mostly determined my teenage activities and graphic design is what I do also.

I exhibited my work within group exhibitions of Faculty of Applied Arts, in Belgrade, and on international exhibitions in Lisbon (Portugal), Thessaloniki (Greece) and Novi Sad (Serbia).

I am still searching for a style of my own, I’m in love with almost everything seen through lenses.
