After two decades of work, it was time to put some of it between covers and onto a shelf and, so unburdened, move on with all my knowledge and experiences. Two hundred and fifty photographs have been chosen for this book to represent the essence of twenty years of work….
Looking through a family album as a child, I wished to take photographs myself. My grandparents had no choice: when we entered a photo laboratory to have our holiday pictures developed, I insisted that they buy me a camera. Little did they know where that would lead. It was an…
If you try to take a photograph of a child in the Himalayas, the mother will cover their eyes with her hand so you wouldn’t “steal” a moment of their life. Today, with the rise of the internet, online editions, and social networks, newspaper photography often lasts only for a…
If life rewards—or punishes—you by leading you into journalism (and it seems it is both), all of it can feel futile if you are not given the chance to report on great events, and if you are not tested by them. By chance, in 1998, I played a decisive role…
Darko Dozet is the Nikoletina Bursać* of our time—only he carries a camera instead of a machine gun. This towering man, covered with unusual equipment and dark camera lenses, would appear unexpectedly, as if out of nowhere, in Kosovo and Metohija. It has been recorded that since 1998, his photographs…

Darko Dozet, a photo reporter at the newspaper Večernje novosti, ranks among the elite of the middle generation of photographers. We began our cooperation while he was still working for Tanjug and part-time for Novosti. Every task he undertook was done willingly and with a strong creative charge. His trademark…
Among the professions in which Novi Sad could—and still can—compete with any other centre in former Yugoslavia and present-day Serbia is certainly that of a photo reporter. It is no wonder, as both Dnevnik and Magyar Szó have always nurtured supreme photography, producing exquisite photo reporters who, over the past…
Novi Sad has always had top photographers and photo reporters. It is a long list of masters who have immortalized the time in which they lived and worked through the lens of a camera. That is the manner in which the rich visual history of our town has been written,…
Photography is not his passion. It’s not a profession either. Nor the trade. For Darko Dozet, photography is life. His entire life. Full. Every day. Black and white. Colourful. Rich. When I first met him some ten years ago and brought him to work for the newspaper Večernje novosti, I…
