Profiled Photographers – Dragan Todorović
Dragan started photography back in the 80’s through watching his uncle creating his own black and vit photos in his darkroom in his hometown of Belgrade in Serbia.

He has not completed elementary school, but has a master's degree in sculpture. In the seventies of the last century, he was one of the most radical, or not to say "craziest", sculptors of the then Yugoslavia, and as such he created one of the most beautiful "classical" monuments, the monument to Matija Nenadović. He worked in school, prison, reached America, returned to his "Hard Hill" above Valjevo, where, as he says, through a life of prayer and meditation, he continues to build with his hands what is "manta" in his head.
