Not many people have heard of Goran Tomasevic. Yet he’s taken some of the defining war photography of our times. He speaks exclusively to BJP.
Goran Tomasevic has photographed conflict for over 20 years in countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Egypt and Syria. Few people will have heard his name, but he’s authored some of the defining images of modern warfare. At an exhibition of his work at the Nordic Lights festival in Norway, Tomasevic talks to BJP about dealing with his emotions, losing his friends, and staying sane in life-threatening situations.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
