Hidden Beauty Of Belgrade | Minimalist Photography Adventure
As many of you may have seen already, I was trying my hand at street photography while recently in Belgrade. Finding those special moments in the people around me and trying to capture them to tell a story. The whole experience was amazing and has been a really interesting evolution in my photography journey. I now notice those moments more.. which I think is really special.. and plan to continue to learn and grow in it.
But, my normal style of photography is a bit different, consisting of nature and what I call Unseen or Hidden Beauty. Those small and what seem to be insignificant details around us, the things we normally pass by without a second thought.. I search them out.
I find it to be a beautiful adventure each time.. paying attention to the small things, finding the beauty in the simplest of places.. it seems to put life in perspective a bit. I think when we can recognize the unique and stunning beauty that surrounds us.. we appreciate everything just a little bit more.
So while in Belgrade, even though I was pushing myself to do street photography.. I couldn’t escape my habits and found myself snapping many shots of that random unseen beauty when I came across it.. even in the most unlikely of places.
Here are some of my favorites, hope you enjoy!
And then there is this shot...
Why is it significant? Well, I feel it’s a combination of the two styles.. you see, I was actually taking a picture of the flowers and was totally focused on them. Then I happened to spot the couple and found myself wanting to combine the two.
The beautiful moment between the lovers and the stunning beauty found in the simplest of flowers... they help each other tell their story in a whole new way. I found that quite poetic and it was a moment where my previous photography style and my experimental new one came together in perfect harmony. ☺️
Awe, Belgrade... I miss you already...
Much Love,
Justine

You have a great eye for photography.
Hey thank you, that’s quite the compliment coming from you! I really enjoy it. Hope you are well.. I miss you friend!! ❤️
This post is truly beautiful! The photos transmit the importance of the details very well. It was hard to pick a favorite (I loved all of them), but I have to say that this one was particularly interesting for me.
Thank you for sharing, Justine. Being your travel partner must be really awesome! <3
Awe thank you Zoe!! I really appreciate that 😊 That is one of my favorites as well.. something about the cold stone with the pop of the copper.. I really enjoyed it. Thanks so much for the lovely comment ❤️
I agree, this one really stuck out to me. If you glance at it quickly, it reminds me of a fantasy movie set or something like that. Like it's not real but obviously is too.

Good coffee skills \n\nWhy choose Belgrad (maybe you explained earlier)?

Yeah the coffee was very pretty haha. Well, I was close being in Poland for SF and there is a group of fellow curie curators that live in Belgrade so I decided to explore and visit them.
That first coffee cup pattern is amazing. Mesmerizing... Unreal even. Bet it was tasty too. I wonder how they did that. With a machine?
I like the other pictures too :)
It was so intricate! I have no idea how he did it but I’m pretty sure he did it by hand. After I ordered it took awhile to come out.. when he brought it he said I saw you had a camera so I wanted to make it extra pretty for you. lol.. so sweet. And yes it was delicious.. I did feel bad drinking it though.. it was too pretty!
Thank you 😊

Oh darn! I know they he said they spoke about our small meet up in the teamserbia channel but I should have reached out! 😕 Next time I will make sure I contact you directly!! I’m sure I’ll be back soon 😉 i caught the snow on my last day.. it was lovely haha. Thanks so much!

Great Photos! Nice perspective. I like the old stone stairway through the archway the best. It seems kind of esoteric.
I like your photos a lot. Simple yet so beautiful. Definitely upvote :)
Thank you!
Very beautiful photos, @llfarms :) I love these day to day views~ And taken with such keen eye for composition <3 Gorgeous shots!
Thank you my friend ❤️ That means a lot
