White Leaves (2011) Photography by Hrnjak Maja

He started photography in 1985 when he enrolled in School of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb. Right in the middle of the war between Iraq and Iran, he left for Iraq for a year (his mother worked there at the time). Immediately he tooks photography more seriously, as he was inspired by Iraq’s culture, landscapes, and people. Flesh tones, on the other hand, refer to the different nuances within the actual color. Within the black, brown, red, yellow or white skin color, there are several subtle combinations, or nuances, that are known as flesh tones. Like the yin and yang philosophy, many colors come together to make one color, and in one color exists many different colors. For example, from a distance we see White complexion, Black complexion, Brown complexion or Red complexion. When we look closer, we start to notice the blues, pinks, yellows, purples and all the subtle nuances ranging from muted to intense mixtures, warm and cool tones. It’s just like looking at a computer image. If you reduce or scale down a picture to a smaller size, the picture will get as fine and detailed as possible. But enlarge it and you will see big squares of pixels.
