Fotografski stil se razvijao od slika prirode do street fotografije, naglašavajući crno-bijeli kontrast, često zasićen kadar užurbanog i otuđenog čovjeka, suprostavljenog vremenu i prostoru, sustavu. Skoro da se u fotografijama nazire jedna vrsta dezintegracije ili urbane anksioznosti.

Fotografija je usredotočena na efekte kao što su svjetlo, sjena i atmosfera a manje na sam objekt ili oštrinu slike.

The photographic style evolved from nature images to street photography, emphasizing black and white contrast, often saturated shots of a busy and alienated man, opposed to time and space, the system. One can almost sense a kind of disintegration or urban anxiety in the photographs.

The photograph focuses on effects such as light, shadow, and atmosphere rather than on the subject itself or the sharpness of the image.

U sklopu 43. Pozorišnih/Kazališnih igara u Gradskoj Galeriji Doma kulture Jajce otvorena je izložba SIMBIOZA FOTOGRAFIJE I POEZIJE autora Edine Demir Šahman i Stjepan Jelice. Izložba je svojevrsni omaž odrastanju i povratku u rodni grad Jajce. Zahvalnost dugujem akademskom slikaru Samiru Hažbiću na pozivu.

RIJEČ STRAJE KRSMANOVIĆA, DIREKTORA UMJETNIČKE GALERIJE BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE:

“Veliko zadovoljstvo i čast mi je što sam večeras ovdje upoznao ove umjetnike, radujem se novom poznanstvu, a najljepše je kad ljude prvo upoznamo kroz njihov rad. Ovo je jedna impresionistička fotografija polaze negdje iznutra, predmet koji se fotografira je samo povod, a rezultat ono što se osjeti  negdje iznutra, svojom dušom, svojom mišlju, svojim osjećanjima. Očito se Stjepan bavi tim gledanjem u prirodu kroz vlastite oči, vlastiti objektiv, a što je važnije kroz vlastitu osjećajnost.

As part of the 43rd Theatre Games in the City Gallery of the Cultural Centre in Jajce, the exhibition SIMBIOZA OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND POETRY by authors Edina Demir Šahman and Stjepan Jelica was opened. The exhibition is a kind of homage to growing up and returning to the hometown of Jajce. I owe my gratitude to the academic painter Samir Hažbić for the invitation.

SPEECH BY STRAJO KRSMANOVIĆ, DIRECTOR OF THE ART GALLERY OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA:

“It is a great pleasure and honor to meet these artists here tonight. I am looking forward to this new acquaintance, and it is most beautiful when we first know people through their work. This is an impressionistic photograph that comes from somewhere within; the subject being photographed is merely an excuse, while the result is what is felt from somewhere inside, with one’s soul, thoughts, and feelings. It is evident that Stjepan engages in this looking at nature through his own eyes, his own lens, and more importantly, through his own sensibility.”
