The photographic portfolio presented within My Bakans website is part of Beka Vuco’s artistic opus in the world of photography. She inherited her love and feeling for photography from her father, Nikola Vuco, who belonged to the surrealistic movement of the 1920’s Paris. Photography is the ultimate tool for capturing our surroundings with a realistic approach. Photography is important to any society because it enables the diffusion of objective information through the visual capture of things as they really are. Due to its very nature, it has impacted the way we remember things from our past. From global-scale events to domestic and familiar occurrences, photography has shaped the way we see and understand things. **** All photographs on the website are by Beka Vuco (c) if not otherwise noted.
