H is images are so striking that after seeing them you will al- ways recognise his work. He is Dušan Stojančević, a Belgrad- er who has been taking photographs for 20 years. He is special in that he manages to capture the whole world in droplets of water. He has visited almost all the world and seen the surreal landscapes of Alas- ka and the Caribbean Islands, as well as searched the length and breadth of Europe ... And he recently returned from Cambo- dia, where he caught, in water droplets, the most striking images from this South- east Asian country, its people, temples etc. -My current passion is macro pho- tography, i.e. photographing miniature things. I started dealing with this when I noticed the play between droplets and flowers in world magazines. I wanted to do something different, something that no one has yet done. And with a little im- agination and thinking I reached a result. Dušan has to date been able to fit into water droplets the entire Temple of Saint

Sava , the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhat- tan skyline etc. -In a technical sense, for that kind of photo I now need about 10 minutes. How- ever, learning and actually preparing takes years. In addition to knowhow, in order to create such an image it is also necessary to match up the photoshoot with certain weather conditions. During his time in Cambodia he was fortunate enough to have the chance to visit Angkor Wat, the world’s largest tem- ple. He dreamt of standing in front of this imposing building back as a twelve-year- old. - I was hired by people from the“Wat- erAid”charitable fund. Imagine: more than 660 million people around the world don’t have access to clean water. This fund does everything it can to help them. Dušan’s expression shows a dominant fusion of love for film and photography. That’s why he was at one point fascinat- ed by the specific photography direction known as time lapse photography.
- This is a special technique of photo- graphing during which multiple frames are shot at specific time intervals. At the end, the recorded pictures are merged to form one continuous shot. In approximately one second you can fit 24 or more images. In this way you create the illusion of move- ment, or the effect of film. It can be said that the time-lapse technique is the reverse of slow-motion. Dušan achieved great success with the short film “A Day in Belgrade”, which was published by National Geographic in its of- ficial channels. His latest time-lapse work, “A Day in Serbia”, is currently being watched by the whole world. Dušan is an engineer of food technolo- gy by training. He believes that he inherited his passion for photography from his moth- er, who was an architect. He has had various vocations in life, working as a ship’s pho- tographer, an interior designer, and even trying his hand at marketing. Interestingly, he was also engaged in the construction of the new facility at the Pančevo Refinery.
