I’m excited to release my NFT Collections on OpenSea, providing an opportunity to purchase 1/1 images captured around the globe from my body of work spanning 20+ years.
‘My parents migrated to Australia from Croatia in the 1960s, and brought minimal possessions with them. One of the first indulgent items purchased after establishing themselves was a camera. This camera was handed to me at an early age and was the start of my photographic journey, which became my creative escape and lifeline.
My approach is to show the true beauty of the subject, where it demands attention by introducing space and minimising distractions. The simplest of things, when isolated, can represent something beautiful. What we take for granted often seems to be the most important, when I bring attention to these simple elements, it can function as a reminder to truly appreciate our surroundings.
The fine details and primitive experiences are becoming rare in contemporary life. I want to celebrate the beauty that is overlooked by creating visuals that offer moments of reflection and appreciation.
It is humbling to be recognised for my photographic style and achievements by Instagram, 500px, EyeEm, Collective Hub, Taxi Mag, Brilliant Mag, New York Magazine, Cool Hunter, Blow Up, Olympus, Men In This Town, Feature Shoot, Get Lost Magazine, The 405, Capture Magazine, Life Framer, Australian Photography Awards, Rokeby Gallery, Portion, NINE, SBS, Asian Art Group, Australian Photography, NZIPP among others and most importantly my 500,000+ community.
Thank you for being part of the journey, without the support and constant inspiration my passion would simply be a dream.’
BIO
Ante Badzim is an AIPP Accredited Professional Photographer from Australia who completed his studies in Photography, Photomedia and Photojournalism in the renowned School of Art & Design at the Australian National University in Canberra and Photography Studies College and RMIT University in Melbourne.
Based in Sydney, an award-winning exhibiting artist who fell in love with photography early in life. His journey into photography started when he inherited his parent's camera, which continues to play an important role in his life.
Whether it was at school, or using his family and friends as subjects, taking photos became a passion, a distraction, and a lifeline.
He aims to capture images that showcase a sense of calmness and simplicity, images that cut through the noise of daily life. This is in direct contrast to the obstacles we face, making the images he creates a personal challenge.
