Photographer Boogie

Boogie is a photographer who was born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia. He started out documenting the civil war which destroyed his country in the 1990's. He moved to Brooklyn New York in 1998 where he published 5 monographs depicting the underbelly of different countries around the world. His most notable work was 2006 "ITS ALL GOOD" which showcased the street life of his residence in Brooklyn. I believe Boogies work relates to his past in Serbia, as it displays struggle, sufferance and rebellion.

My first response to his work is that he is telling a story, the two images that i selected show the reality of the projects in Brooklyn. How i feel about his work is a mix of grief and worry as the photography relates to a few of my family members.

Boogies work has taken  a step away from the grit and grime, he is known for his high profile work done with companies such as Nike,

in which his work showcases colour and black and white shots that correspond with the style of shoe. 

All in all boogie still continues to depict reality through his work.
