About Tomislav Petković

I was born in 1980 in Zagreb, where I still live and work. I am employed as a teacher at Center Dugave and the focus of my everyday work is working with minors with behavioral disorders (juvenile delinquency). I am a member of Photo Club Zagreb.
For the last 5 years I have been intensively engaged in photography in most of its forms and genres. From a hobby, photography has become a passion, an obsession in a positive sense, an activity that contributes to overall personal development and has a psychotherapeutic effect. I am primarily focused on street and documentary photography, and through recording undirected everyday moments I try to speak and give my view on individuals as well as on the entire contemporary society. In most of my photographic series, the main actor is an individual in correlation with the wider community. This inevitable and not always successful symbiosis brings the individual into different psychological states and awakens different emotions, which I try to make tangible within the frame.
