Issue No. 01 — Beograd Knez Mihailova & beyond Est. Beograd, 2026

Every story deserves a front page.

We photograph strangers on the street and guests at your events, then design and print their own front page — while they wait. No filters. No pose left un-lived. Just a newspaper worth keeping.

01 — The Story

A newsroom that fits in a suitcase.

No studio, no appointment, no second take. Just a corner of Belgrade, a case of old-world equipment, and whoever happens to walk by.

Every shift starts the same way: one case, one camera, one street corner.

It began on Knez Mihailova, Belgrade's main pedestrian street — a battery, an inverter, a printer and a laptop packed into a single case, and a photographer with nothing but a camera and an idea: stop a stranger, take one honest photograph, and hand them back a newspaper with their own face on the cover.

Ten seconds after the shutter clicks, the page is already printing. No pose is ever quite finished — people are invited to try a few more, to bring a friend into frame, to leave whatever they feel the moment was worth. There's no fixed price. There's no script. There's only the front page, and the person who earned it.

What started as one corner grew into two, then three locations along the same street — and an ongoing attempt to carry the idea across the border, to the coast of Montenegro. Lately, the same suitcase has started showing up somewhere new: weddings, birthdays, festivals — wherever a room full of people deserves to be the story for a night.

02 — The Process

How an edition is made.

Four steps, one uninterrupted moment — from the first look through the lens to the ink still warm in your hands.

01

We Photograph

A photographer approaches with a case, not a crew. One frame, shot candidly on a Canon EOS 80D — no direction needed, though a pose is always welcome.

02

We Design

The photo lands straight from camera to laptop and drops into that day's front page — a hand-built layout, waiting for exactly one face to complete it.

03

We Print

Battery, inverter, inkjet printer — everything running off a case with no plug in sight. The page comes out on ivory or white A4, still warm.

04

We Hand It Over

Whatever the moment was worth to you — that's what it costs. No price list. No receipt. Just a newspaper with your name on the front page.

03 — The Editions

One city, told one face at a time.

Every printed page carries the same city on its back — its streets, its landmarks, its own small chronicle — while the front page belongs entirely to whoever's holding it.

04 — Special Editions

The newsroom travels.

Weddings, birthdays, festivals, openings — booked by the hour, priced by the guest list, run by the same case that works the street.

  • Weddings A front page for the two of you, before the night is over.
  • Birthdays Two of our best nights yet started this way.
  • Festivals A line, a camera, a print — built for a crowd.
  • Corporate Events A keepsake with your brand on the masthead.
  • Private Parties Every guest gets their own front page to take home.
  • Store Openings The first edition of a new address.

Street work runs on tips — whatever the moment was worth. Events run differently: booked by the hour, priced by the number of guests. We first did this while short-staffed on the street; it's since become the direction we're building toward.

05 — Not a Photo Booth

Why this isn't ordinary photography.

Original

One layout, hand-built for that day — never a template pulled off a shelf.

Personal

No pose is directed twice. The person in the frame decides how the story looks.

Real

Real film-desk equipment, a real street, real ink on real paper — nothing rendered.

Unforgettable

A printed page outlasts a camera roll. It gets pinned to a wall, not scrolled past.


06 — Booking

The newsroom comes to you.

Five steps between the first message and the first printed front page of the night.

Reserve

Tell us the date, the headcount, and the kind of story you're throwing.

We Arrive

Case, camera, printer — set up in a corner, out of the way of the party.

We Shoot

Guests are photographed candidly, or step in and pose on request.

We Print

Every front page comes off the case in roughly ten seconds.

We Deliver

Guests leave with their own edition — the night's real souvenir.

07 — Impressions

What people say when they see their own front page.

"I stopped for what I thought was a gimmick and left holding a newspaper with my own face on it. I've kept it on my fridge for a month."

— Guest, Knez Mihailova

"We booked them for two hours and every single guest walked out with their own front page. It was the thing people talked about the next day."

— Private Birthday, Belgrade

"No posed studio shot has ever made me laugh the way that ten-second print did. Worth every dinar we left."

— Guest, Skadarlija
