Lana Polić

Rijeka, Croatia
Portrait | Beauty | Commercial Photographer & Professional Retoucher

Lana Polić is a portrait, beauty, and commercial photographer—and a precision-focused professional retoucher—based in Rijeka, Croatia. Entirely self-taught, Lana began her journey by experimenting with self-portraits, slowly building her craft through disciplined repetition and fearless creativity. That persistence became the foundation for her signature style: refined, modern, and technically meticulous.

Her work balances artistry with intention. Every detail—color palette, contrast, posing, and composition—is carefully chosen to enhance emotion and clarity, not distract from it. Her lighting is sculptural yet subtle, and her retouching approach is clean, restrained, and respectful of natural texture. The result is a consistent, editorial look that feels polished without ever losing authenticity.

Lana’s photography has gained national and international attention, with features in Croatian media, Rangefindermagazine, and her acceptance into the Canon USA Mentorship Program. She has presented at major industry conferences, including WPPI and the Canadian Imaging Conference & Expo. As a retoucher, her resume includes work on the Canon RF 100–300mm F2.8 campaign, collaborations with Los Angeles stylists, and imagery featuring Miss Universe 2022, R’Bonney Nola.

In June 2025, she became a proud member of the Croatian Association of Visual Artists (HDLU), further cementing her role in the artistic community.

Lana’s mission is simple but powerful: create work worth remembering—and encourage others to keep learning, experimenting, and pushing their creative boundaries. Whether behind the camera or in front of a screen retouching, she brings discipline, vision, and a passion for elevating every frame.

“For me, every image is a study in light, form, and feeling—designed to last long after the scroll.”
