Marina Filipović Marinshe is a fashion and art photographer from Croatia.  She has worked with bands, publishers and companies to enhance their image and brand through crisp, original and imersive imagery.  In 2008. Marina’s photo was chosen among 50.000 others around the world to appear on the cover of the most prestigious photography magazine in the world, the french Photo.  For Marina, this was recognition of a good start to her now already inspiring career, which has also led her work appear on the first ever Croatian translation of the James Bond series of books, published by Algoritam. 

Marina’s work has appeared in various other magazines such as Digital Photo Magazine and Livingstone, as well as a number of exhibitions.  Her photos can already be found in the Mexican high school book on photography, which future young photographers will use to both learn from and inspire others - like Marina is doing today.

Says Marina, “Each and every photo I create has a message.  Sometimes it’s the message that starts the creative process and sometimes it reveales itself only after the photograph is finished.  I find stories in my own life as well as the life of loved ones, friends and society in general.  I like creating positive stories, the ones that will make other people happy and help them feel better.  There are too many sad stories in our world so I feel that my own work should be a relsease for both the eyes and the mind.”
