Urban Loner Self Portraiture

Mark Savic Photographs Solitude in the City

— April 17, 2012 — World
Belgrade-based photographer Marko Savic recently shot a series of photographs of himself in New York City. However, to say just this would make his work sound ordinary and commonplace. Who doesn't take photographs when they go to New York City? The difference between kitschy tourist pictures and Savic's work couldn't be greater though.

It is easy to snap off a few shots of yourself in front of some crowded tourist trap. It is not easy to take pictures of reflections of yourself -- and only yourself -- in one of the biggest and busiest cities in the world. This is exactly what Savic has done.

Each photograph depicts the visage of the photographer as reflected by some ubiquitous yet overlooked piece of the urban environment -- a car window, for instance. Somehow, there no other people or even traces of other people in the photographs. It is as though the city was abandoned.
Trend Themes
1. Urban Self Portraiture - The trend of capturing self-portraits in urban environments is on the rise, offering opportunities for photographers to explore personal expression and reveal unique perspectives of city life.
2. Reflection Photography - Photographing reflections in urban settings is gaining popularity, presenting innovative ways to capture the essence of a city and create intriguing visual narratives.
3. Solitude in Urban Spaces - Exploring the theme of solitude in bustling cities through photography is becoming a significant trend, providing a means for artists to evoke emotions and challenge perceptions of urban life.
Industry Implications
1. Photography - The photography industry can leverage the trend of urban self portraiture by offering workshops and tutorials on how to master the art of capturing personal moments in busy cityscapes.
2. Tourism - The tourism industry can tap into the trend of reflection photography by promoting unique urban locations that offer photogenic reflective surfaces, attracting photography enthusiasts and travelers alike.
3. Art - The art industry can embrace the trend of exploring solitude in urban spaces by showcasing exhibitions and installations that delve into the emotional and psychological aspects of city solitude.
