About me

I graduated from Civil Engineering Secondary School and worked as a civil engineering technician for 17 years. I have been interested in cameras since I was a young boy. First I bought a cine camera, Yashica 600-S 8mm in 1972. With the appearance of video techniques I turned to video cameras. Later I graduated from School for Video and TV Cameras of the Yugoslav Institute for Journalism and became a freelance cameraman. I joined the Freelance Photography and Video Artists’ Association. Since then I have paid taxes for my pension fund myself. Currently I am working with the professional camera Sony 200 DVCAM.
