Croatia: Daily Life

As Petar Kurschner explains,”Mediterranean as it once was? Yes, the nature is still here and it's some of the most beautiful in Europe but how about the people living in Croatia? Well, that's another story."

Kurschner continues, "The cost of living in Croatia is about the same as other European Union (EU) countries such as Germany and France but wages are much lower. At the same Croatian politicians’ salaries sky-rocketed and the world economic crisis came straight through the door"

Petar Kurschner's photo essay, Croatia: Daily Life is now appearing on Gaia Photos, a new international photography source comprised of 41 photojournalists from around the world whose mission is to promote quality and diversity in documentary photography.

Freelance photographer Petar Kurschner graduated from SAE Institute in Munich, Germany. Initially Petar gained experience by being involved with more than 600 projects including television, theatre production and concerts while serving as a sound engineer, director and organizer.
