Portrait of a friend, Los Angeles

Biography: I became interested in photography after being aquatinted with the work of Henry Carier-Bresson who I was 16. I later started to shoot anything that I found interesting whenever I had some time. Born in Serbia where I studied architecture, I lived and worked in France and Switzerland where I worked as an architect. In 1985 I moved to Los Angeles where I worked as an Art Director in advertising. I retired in 1989, and made photography a full time hobby.
