Biography
Born in Zadar, Croatia, in 1966.
Robert Marnika is a photographer with over 25 years of experience in a range of photographic styles and services, from industrial and sport photography to portraits, Robert dedicated much of his career to both teaching darkroom techniques and artistic photography.
In 2006, Robert won the first prize for his “Fragments of a memory” collection at the Photography Festival in Rome. The work was mainly done in a darkroom using discarded images from the war years in Croatia in the early 90’s. Consequently, he was granted access to Portfolio 2006 in Prato (Tuscany), where he was awarded the second prize for the best photographic portfolio in Italy.
In 2009, Robert published a book, Fragments of memory, exploring the concept of memory in relation to those tragic war years. In recent times, his work has received numerous recognition, and he continues to develop his interests in art photography and jazz music by portraying internationally recognized musicians. His works have been shown in more than 40 international exhibitions.
For the past 13 years he has been running intensive digital and analogue photography workshops in Italy, Croatia, Spain and now in Australia. Robert continues to work as a freelance photographer and teach the basics of photography as well as advanced B&W printing techniques.
