🌍

Contexto cultural

Taking photos of your coffee (kava) is a national pastime. It's almost mandatory to 'slikati' your cup if you're sitting by the sea. In Zagreb, the Saturday morning walk (špica) is a place to see and be seen. People expect to be 'slikani' by street photographers. Dalmatians are very proud of their 'pomalo' (take it easy) lifestyle and will often stop to 'slikati' a particularly beautiful blue shade of the sea. Like everywhere, 'slikanje hrane' (food photography) is huge, but in Croatia, it's often about traditional dishes like 'peka' or 'strukli'.

⚠️

Don't 'take'!

Never use 'uzeti' for photos. It's the biggest giveaway that you're a beginner.
