Who are we?

“Foto baza” is the first platform for buying and selling photographs in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Inspired by similar global platforms, it was launched in December 2021 by the citizens' association eTrafika.net from Banja Luka.

We sincerely believe that abuses and illegal use of photographs can be minimized. The goal is to connect photographers on one side and business entities on the other, thereby creating strong ties between these two sectors.

We are aware of the years of work and investment in the equipment needed to achieve the perfect photograph. We personally witness the inhumane and dangerous conditions in which our colleagues work. Therefore, as media professionals, we want to contribute to the protection of copyright and the regulation of the photo market.

“Foto baza” is not an agency. We do not employ photographers and photo reporters, nor do we send them on assignments. We are a service where they offer photo illustrations for media and commercial content. Every month, we also offer a certain number of free photos for those who cannot afford to purchase them.

The creation of “Photo base” was made possible by the British Council and the Thomson Foundation through the project Media for all.

The project “Photos are important” was supported by the US Embassy in Sarajevo.

The citizens' association eTrafika.net is registered in the register of the Basic Court in Banja Luka under serial number F-1-198/11. 

It is located at Kralja Petra I Karađorđevića 109, local 9, 78000 Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The association is not a tax payer.
