  Dejan Miloradov was born on June 23rd in 1970. in Kumanovo, FYR Macedonia, and currently lives and works in Novi Sad, Serbia. He finished his basic studies at the Department of Serbian Language and Linguistics, Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad, where he got his master's degree. He has been working in Matica srpska. His interest in photography deepens since 2003. and his interests lie in topics related to people and their environment, life situations in which they are located, rural lifestyle, street photography, then the relationship between life and death, etc. His images are mostly black and white, full of contrasts – he introduces the viewer into the story quickly and directly. Dejan Miloradov portrays the life (or at least his vision of life), in a way that is sometimes more difficult to accept and his subjects and motves are sometimes considered taboo in our society. So far, he participated in two solo and several group exhibitions in Serbia. His photographs had won several awards. His is a member of the photo club Vojvodina from Novi Sad.

• Third Element

  20.05.-03.06.2013.

  Photo club Rijeka is essential to cultural context when we talk about the history of photography in Rijeka and in Croatia. Its continuity – in various activities, such as education work on forming of authors is sustained in the Club since 1939.. All relevant photographic authors in this area have been its members in some stage of their development. Role of the Club is significant  - in social and artistic context,  not only for the city of Rijeka but also for the broader region, and the continuity of quality photography is nurtured and further promotes the well-being of current and future members, but also of the City. One of its most important programmes is the international exhibition Third element on which the winner gets residency in Rijeka with the task of taking photos of Rijeka and its citizens - these photographs are finally presented on the exhibition. This programme already hosted two authors - Virgil Mlesnita from Romania and Neda Rački from Zagreb. In 2013. its guest is Dejan Miloradov, author from Novi Sad. In this way a collection of works of guest artists  is formed and the Club enriches its photographic archive, with a different view - a view on Rijeka and its citizens from the "outside".
