Mislav Mesek
(Croatia)
Mislav Mesek is a freelance photographer and videographer based in Zagreb, Croatia. With a degree in international business and marketing, he seamlessly blends his creative storytelling capabilities with the corporate world. With over seven years of professional experience, the most notable projects were with Rimac Automobili and Scenic Cruises International. Photography and videography serve as his primary tools for crafting compelling narratives, whether working solo or on larger productions.
In his personal work, Mislav’s subjects span from portraits, landscapes and scenes from his travels, and music. A significant musical project was initiated in 2020 and titled “35mm sessions,” involved recording emerging artists from his region. Expanding to artists all around Croatia, filming in interesting locations and travelling to them with a motorcycle, the project “Soundscape of Croatia – Roadtrip” was born.
Soundscape of Croatia – Roadtrip
I have three passions in my life: photo/video creation, music, and riding motorcycles. “Soundscape of Croatia – Roadtrip” unites all three of them into one project – recording music sessions with artists across Croatia while riding a motorcycle to every location.
Croatia boasts vast beauty in its nature and cultural heritage. I am interested in recording musicians in various locations around Croatia, preserving the scenery around them, and capturing songs in the form of music sessions. The travel route will follow Croatia’s coastline, showcasing a diverse array of mountains, beaches, forests, rivers, fields, and old towns. The concept involves using a motorcycle as a “mobile recording studio,” carrying only the essential equipment for audio, video, and photography recording. This ensures mobility to explore interesting locations and record artists performing in those settings. The goal is to document artists from various regions of Croatia, spanning traditional vocal ensembles, traditional instruments, to modern artists representing different facets of the country.
