Mary Crnkovic Pilas

is a street and documentary photographer who was born and raised in Sydney, Australia and moved to Zagreb, Croatia in 1992 after completing her B.A. majoring in Music and French.  She is most interested in black and white street and documentary photography and likes to document ordinary everyday people and scenes. Many people ask her about the meaning behind “The Marvels of Daily Life”, the name of her website and Instagram page. It is based on a quote by one of her favourite photographers, Robert Doisneau, which perfectly sums up her philosophy on street photography – “The marvels of daily life are so exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street.”  She has won numerous awards and has been exhibited in countless group exhibitions worldwide, as well as having had four solo exhibitions in Croatia and been published in various books and magazines.  She also curates a number of Instagram pages including @bnw.street.fotos, @badass_bnw, & @street_macadam You can find more of her work at https://themarvelsofdailylife.com/
