A photographer perpetually seeks beauty. Sometimes beauty is obvious and undeniable, but it is often hidden and imperceptible. Photography, as an art form, brings into focus what most of us don’t see. It portrays the world from an alternative, sometimes unfamiliar angle and presents a new point of view. It often pays tribute to a detail or a fragment of a moment. A photographer’s eye discovers and highlights a unique shape, a line of a curve, or an alignment of objects most of us are unaware of. It brings to our attention a sway of flowers in a field, a desperate flight of a bird, a play of shadows, a drama in the sky. It is that sharp curiosity and mindfulness that sheds light on intimacy of a moment, an expression of delight, a spot of doubt, a celebration of love or admiration of eternal beauty. Most of all, a photographer’s eye brings into view what otherwise would remain hidden, unseen and unappreciated. By Aleksandra Mijovic-Cirilovic
