About

Minja Šarović is a self-taught photographer born in Banja Luka (ex-Yugoslavia), raised and based in the Netherlands. Cities play a crucial role in her work. She explores urban structures and investigates the soul of the city. In her endless quest for beauty and authenticity she attempts to capture the city’s less visible places and aspects. Her work reflects her relationship with her surroundings and mirror her development as a photographer and human being. Minja works predominantly with analog cameras.

By focusing on composition and atmosphere she tries to capture timeless simplicity in a fast changing world. She works from a place of raw intuition and is a firm believer of the correlation between human and city. She draws inspiration from daily life, music, human relationships and nature.

In 2017 she finished her first documentary Eerlijk Zullen We Allen Spelen (translates roughly to ‘share and share alike’) about former underground music venue SUB071 in Leiden, Netherlands. The documentary investigates the importance of independent music venues like SUB071 for a city and shows the power of the DIY attitude. Since it’s release the documentary has been shown in various cities throughout the Netherlands. Please get in touch if you would like to organize a viewing. You can watch the movie online as well.
