BIOGRAPHY
Velibor was born in Slovenj Gradec, Slovenia, a small town close to the Austrian border.
Due to a fortunate turn of events he moved to Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, at the age of 4. He was brought up by his family, by his friends and their families, by his neighbours and teachers and street thugs and all the other beautiful people he encountered while growing up.
He spent the war siege of Sarajevo sharpening survival skills.
He moved to Montreal, Canada in 1999 where, for 8 years, he worked as an engineer in aerospace industry, until he finally gave up his promising engineering career and became a photographer.
His works have been published in The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Financial Times, Chicago Tribune, Granta, The Paris Review, BH Dani and others. He exhibited in USA, Cuba, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Canada.
He is currently attending MFA program in Studio Arts (Photography) at Concordia University.
