Maja Planinac Serbian, b. 1987
Through her photography, Maja Planinac captures phenomena that exist between the dichotomies of raw and sophisticated, the real and unreal, and the deeply personal and public. Discovering the potential of emotion as both tangible and abstract, Planinac decided to integrate a photography course into her studies. Her work integrates a deep love for the human body and the emotion. Her first group exhibition fed her curiosities to learn more about both her inner self and the outer world. Maja's work examines the boundaries between seemingly incompatible worlds
Maja Planinac was born in former Yugoslavia in 1987 and moved to San Francisco in 2016. Before becoming a fine art photographer and cinematographer, she studied at a physiotherapist college in Belgrade, Serbia, driving her to further pursue photography at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts at the University of Arts.
