While thinking about photography as an art which should be popularized in every country and kept at some higher level photo itself deserve, freed from the constraints of frames and internet photo blogs, we arrived to an idea of setting up an interdisciplinary project including ( bringing) unique festivals of photography, catalogues/portfolios of reputable photographers, workshops, interworking with other competent photo institutions and bring about overall sinergy of photo culture in Croatia.
So, we can say that our mission is intercession for improving conditions of work for young photographers, as well as all the others from the world of photography. Our goal is putting photographers occupation on more professional level with organization of all already mentioned events, designing an artistic and interdisciplinary projects and interworking with competent photo institutions. Popularizing of photo art among young people, implementing art projects ( exhibitions of our members, photo workshops, photo festivals in Zagreb, exhibition tour across the country, visiting exhibitions in foreign countries). One of our biggest wishes is establishing new and modern photo galery, accessible for all.
