You have got very large drop portfolios ; elemenet, digitalizing, sinalco, fantasy, art, streamlism, bublart etc. When have you started to take drop photos ? and How ?

I started to be interested in Photography in my early childhood, but  I encountered digital photography in november 2002, when I came in possession of my first digital Canon PS 200 A, with only 2 MPix. It was a borrowed digital camera and I did some macro, as those little cameras are very good in Macro mode, not too suitable for landscapes :)

So, I was looking around and trying to figure out what to photography, and I had that Idea, that I must be perfect in photography and at that time, I thought that the hardest task for a Photographer was to capture a drop in the air, falling down!. That was my idea, my goal, a challenge for me! First my drops were more like a lot of splatches, but then in May 2003, I received my new digital camera from my Friend Mark JB and it was a Canon PS G3! 

What's your photos's difference other drop works ?

I started my travel in the Water World.. I practiced a lot and getting better and better in capturing the falling drop! Then I realised that the Drop World was so unexplored, and that a single drop can fall in so many ways, and can make so many various, never same, shapes and forms, I was just so amazed with the water!

 .

But I wanted to be different, and then I started to capture the "Reflection" in the drop! That is how my drops are different from the rest, plus the various forms/shapes of my Drops. I was so tired to see always the same falling drop on an uniform one color background, that I was trying to put some nice happy reflections in the Drop! I succeed :) As I am working in my kitchen, I just put the water to run throuhg my faucet and then stand in front of my sinck and capture hundreds of captations to have 2 or 3 good drop, cause it is not so easy to capture drops, you have to reach the perfect timing!

It was another world to explore!

But I was pushing further!.After my drops, I turned to magnify the soap bubbles, cause I am a macroist in my soul, and then I was doing a lot of abstracts from kitchen liquid for dishes, cause It was more static than a drop, and it was easier to capture!. The rest is just exploration of the Element Water with my fantasy.

What do you use for take photo ? (your equipments ?)

Now, after 3 years of work on my Drops, I can feel the right timing, plus I have a new equipment Canon D350 and doing my Drops now with the Canon Lens 100 mm Macro!.

I sold my Sinalco Drops to Sinalco Germany, they have the intention to make a Calendar with my Sinalco Drops, and that was the best way that someone used my Drops, for advertising! 

Did you exhibit them ? if not do you think ?

I never did an exhibition of my Drops in Serbia or anywhere else, cause nobody is really interesting in my Drops here in Serbia, even as a lot of People are enjoying them through Internet!.

I think if I was to make an Exhibition of my Drops, that would be so crazy, cause I want them to be so huge, like 1m x 1m size, cause it is a macro world of a micro Drop and you have to see it in big, to have the feeling that this is a small drop :) 

I would like to make an exhibition, but for the moment, nobody is interested and I do not have the money to develop and to do the exhibition on my own!

You've travelled over the world... You'd take different place's and People's photos (i know you did) but why do you interest more then ?

Beside my macro and abstract side in my photography, I am also a Portretist! All my life, I was travelling around the world, and all my life I love Humans, so the Human face is something that I love in Photography after my Obssession with Drops! I started also to do Drops because I was too shy to do portraits of people that I dont know, or I am passing by in the street! I love so much People, but I cannot enter their intimicy! So, all my portraits are like candids cause I am too shy to photography streight in the eyes!

What do you think when look your works ? like colors, timing, visiuals ? 

Now, after 3 years and more of intensive involvement in Photography, meaning daily, every day I was photographying, I was addicted, now I see that my work is not so bad, that I am creative, and I like my colors, but I think also that I can learn more about photography and that I can do better! That is pushing me - I can always do it better! and everybody can do it too :)

I think now, that my Drops are not interesting anymore, as they used to be 2 years before, but I am going to do it all over again! Trying to be more creative and original! To work harder! It is very hard to reach the Perfection!! Needs a lot of work and patience :)

How's your next photo plans ?

My plans in photography in the future? Hard question! I am going to specialize the photography, to learn more and probably to make some exhibition of my Drops :) one day, one day :) who knows :) I wish I can work in the Fashion Photography, cause I love the Advertising and the Fashion Photography! I think that a Photograph is very suitable to display, and describe something, so I like to link the photograph with some design and words! 

Hope I will be a good Photographer in some years :)

Thank you dear Levent and dear Team of the "FotoRitim Magazine" for your interest in me and my Photography!

I wish you all the best and a lot of good stories about Photographers and about Photography :)

Sincerely yours,

Biliana
