Tomislav Marić

have been working as a professional photographer in Croatia (Zagreb) for 20 years. I have extensive experience in advertising (commercial), still life and portrait photography. Specialised in Traditional Chinese portrait photography, spent years as photographer in the most prestigious Beijing photo studios. Combining acquired knowledge with the specificities of International market, I perfected in two areas: 1) photography of products and packaging, namely in the segment of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and food (I am a food & beverage stylist as well – a person who prepares the packaging for a shoot, puts drops, ice cubes and prepares the scenography according to client’s demands). In recent years I have cooperated with the publishers and chefs themselves in making cookbooks (in one year, my photographs were used to illustrate 6 cookbooks and I worked with some of the best chefs in Croatia – Stéphan Macchi, Jeffrey Vella and others). 2) shooting visuals with the scenography and actors for the clients who demand full production in compliance with high advertising standards, where the emphasis is on communication and cooperation with creative artists of all profiles. My photography equipment meets all the requirements – from micro lighting for special conditions during a video/film shoot, flash lighting for an editorial shoot, flash lighting with continuous control of light temperature for product photography, to fluo- and LED lighting for shooting special effects. For successful completion of the assignments I use small, medium and large format cameras – Canon – Hasselblad – Linhof (more about the equipment at the end of the document).
