Almin Zrno is widely recognized as one of the most influential photographers from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Born in 1966 in Sarajevo, he early discovered his love for photography and started exhibiting his artwork in number of joint exhibitions organized in ex-Yugoslavia as a member of photo-cine club CEDUS. He received his first award for the best photograph at the age of 17. After the Bosnian war, he continued to pursue his professional career, working mainly in the field of journalistic photography, which resulted with two awards for best published photograph awarded to Zrno by the Association of Journalist of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 2000, he became a member of the Association of Applied Artists and Designers of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ULUPUBiH). In 2003 he organized his first solo exhibition “STAGE” at the Art Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina and slowly turned to other ways of expression, primarily nude and portrait photography. In 2007 he obtained the status of an independent prominent artist. He has organized twenty solo exhibitions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and abroad and participated in numerous joint exhibitions worldwide. He has received seven prestigious Collegium Artisticum awards for best photo design and published two monographs “Vijećnica“ (2015) and „Apology of Eros“ (2018).
