Yugoslavia in Focus - a Photographic Exploration of a People and a Nation

Meet our people and our country! Photographer Stevan Mandić was comissioned by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture to travel the length and breath of the nation and capture the essence of Yugoslavia and its people. Mandić used a Zrak Altix IV film Camera with a 50mm lens to render these breathtaking locations and intimate portraits of Yugoslav citizens from all walks of life. Feel free to save any image you like for use as desktop background!
