About Radomir
Radomir Masha Dikosavljevic was born in 1959 in Novi Sad (Serbia). He studied Art History at the University of Belgrade. The beginnings of his photographic work took place unusually late in his life, in 1987, while studying Mass Media Communications, in Washington, DC. He opened his first solo exhibit in Washington’s Adams Morgan art area, in the next year. For a couple of years he worked as assistant at the photo studios of Richard Bash, the Jean Efron art consulting office in Washington, and the art studio of Anne Stevenson. Despite a great desire to study photography, his career led him into digital multimedia where he worked as a graphics designer, art director at Sonic Images and, Bell Atlantic.
RADOMIR currently lives and works in his home town Novi Sad, in the Province of Vojvodina, Serbia. He returned from USA to his homeland after democratic changes in 2001. Since that time he has exhibited at group photographic shows and joined UPIDIV (The Association of Artists and Industrial Designers of Vojvodina), where he held his second exhibition in February of 2003. His third exhibition was opened in January of 2005, at FKVSV (The Association of Photographers & Videographers of Vojvodina), while his fourth solo show took place in July of 2007, at the Cultural Centre of Novi Sad in Katolicka Porta, which was also his first Street Exhibit.
In 2007, Mr. Dikosavljevic has also received a very dear award at the “Art of Photography Show,” San Diego, where he won the 3rd place among 10,000 entries from 37 countries.
Only after 14 years of doing classic photography, has he seriously started recording music concerts. His patience had soon paid off when he won a third place at the “International Rock Photography Salon” Zajecar, in 2005, a gold medal at the same Salon in 2006, and honors in 2007. Radomir does not approach his concert photography in a photo journalistic documentary way, but ruther records concerts as he would photograph a ballet, or a theatre play… He is trying to make compositions that would have strong aesthetic statements ten or twenty years from now – whether people recognized the actual band, or not. Several of these photos were published in music & entertainment magazines Metal Hammer and Bravo.
Radomir does not exhibit often (every 2nd-3rd year), but he also writes about other photographers, and photography in general, for art & photo magazines like “Refoto” and “Digital Arts.” He is always on the look for the right gallerist/company to adequately represent his photographic work. He issues only small, personally signed, limited series of 25 reprints with individual certificates of authenticity.
