Professional Summary

I was born in 1959 in Belgrade.

For my 11th birthday, I received a piano and a camera “SMENA 8” from my parents, with which I enjoyed for decades. In elementary school, I was a member of the photo section where I practiced black and white analog photography for 4 years.

I worked as a bank treasurer for 17 years until the bank was closed down, then as a computer operator and various others, I should retire in 2022.

I have one daughter and two grandchildren.

I was a member of an amateur painter art association for 25 years and then returned to the camera in 2015, buying my first DSLR “Nikon D90”. At the end of 2015, I came to the Photo Club “Belgrade”, where I officially became a member in January 2016, and at the same time a member of the Photo Association of Serbia with the membership card number 1140/2016.

In 2016, I won the Second Republic Award for individual photography “Crow”.

In 2017, I won the First Republic Award for the series of photographs “Birds”.

In 2019, I received the foreign title AFIAP (Artist of FIAP).

In 2020, I am on the 6th place in the list of “10 MOST”, 10 most active members in the Republic of Serbia in 2019.

In 2020, I received the title of FA1 – First Amateur Photo Amateur of the Photo Association of Serbia.

In 2021, I received the title of EFIAP (Excellence FIAP)

In 2021, I received the title of C MOL (C Master of Light)

From 2016-2020, I participated in over 200 domestic and foreign exhibitions, with more than 200 photographs, in about 40 countries around the world.

I love photography and I think that every moment is precious and should be noted, as a stopped moment in time. I strive to have my own photo manuscript and for my photographs to concretely speak or be silent, to speak in silence and to let the observer complete them with his own imagination. I try to show all the beauty of doing art and the wealth of the soul, which, playing, creates an album of time in which it exists and thus becomes eternal.
