Besides the educational activities, we especially bring ourselves out on the exhibitory field, and in the meanwhile we can freely say that wherever our photos are to be presented, awards will follow” – stated Sofija Petkovska, president of Photo Club Kumanovo.
“There exists one creative second when you photograph. Your eye has to see the composition and the expression which life offers you, and you must know with intuition when to take the shot. That is the moment when the photographer is creative. If you let the moment pass you, then it’s gone forever.” – states Ivana Ilievska.
The presented success which the authors of Photo Club Kumanovo achieved in Serbia, was the reason for their invitation to participate in the photo colony “Petrush” in Zagred, where two members of the photo club introduced themselves with their presentations.
