ABOUT

Goran Jovic is a Croatian documentary photographer.

His formative years were influenced by his trips in New York and Barcelona where he spent weeks documenting the lives of Harlem’s homeless and beggars and street life in the bohemian barrios of the Catalan capital.

In 2011, his decision to join a volunteer humanitarian mission in Tanzania with the aid association ‘Kolajna Ljubavi’ had a fundamental influence on his work.

His later projects include series on everyday lives of marginalized groups in the big cities of Ecuador, as well as photographs of traditional merchants, peasants and cattle farmers of Andean villages, indigenous settlers of the Amazon, and a depiction of the bittersweet existence of Brazilian favela slum dwellers. In 2013, he photographed the southern nations in Ethiopia and documented the Lo Kingdom in Upper Mustang region in Nepal.

Goran Jovic gets his inspiration and drives from researching the trends in photojournalism, and devotes his time and skills exclusively to photo-reporting. “I try to bring something personal to every photo I take. As much as I discover, I still recognize that photography is an open space, in which there are constantly new opportunities to explore. Every project has an impact on my technique and brings up a new vision”.
