Podgora is a small town located within the Split-Dalmatia County of Croatia. It’s located on the Adriatic coastline about 65 km south of Split and about 130 km north of Dubrovnik. Its a little gem. Far enough away from the large tourist crowds and Brit free. I certainly dont want to be reminded of home or the UK when travelling oversea.

I didn’t shoot Podgora with a travel magazine related view in mind, I shot it the way I like to shoot content. Searching for people and colour and I certainly found that there. Croatian blue is like no other. Ive only seen similar tones in Cornwall when the light is right. Shooting there with the Q certainly brings the best out in the camera. I also shot Podgora on 35mm and 120mm too. In fact I shot the place on four formats if Im honest with the added instant format of my Leica Sofort too - see here

Podgora is one of those lovely small villages in Croatia that hasn’t really been totally invaded by tourism yet. Im sure its coming though. Im glad I discovered it when I did.
