At the age of seventeen, he started working on the technical realization of concerts by the popular groups No Smoking (all tours), Merlin, Red Apple, Valentino, Bombay Press\u2026<\/p>\n

At the beginning of 1988, he founded the concert agency \"Mrak i ja\" for the technical (photo, video and lighting) realization of concerts, theater performances and the like. He specializes in lighting and light effects, so in addition to working with rock groups, he also works on large events (Sarajevo Winter, Mostar Summer, Jutel for Peace, promotions of brands such as Coca Cola and Levis). The theater then becomes a challenge for him, so as a lighting designer he works on the performances of the Mostar Youth Theater, the Mostar National Theater, Sarajevo's \"Obala\" theater and with the performances \"Tattooed Theater\" and \"Moon Show\" directed by Mladen Materi\u0107, he tours many festivals in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In the period from 1988 to 1991, he made videos for large publishing houses such as \"Diskoton\" from Sarajevo and \"Jugoton\" from Zagreb. In August 1991, he moved to Serbia, to Kragujevac. From 1991 to 1995, he worked at the Student Cultural Center in Kragujevac and realized hundreds of professional concerts at the highest level. At the end of 1995, he was working on a large project (lighting and laser) with \"Open Road\" from Moscow. A year later, with the Dodest Theater in Podgorica, he participated in several festivals in Italy, Greece and Hungary. From 1997 to 1999, he worked in \"Scena\" from Kragujevac, where he also organized and realized a large number of very demanding and professional programs.<\/p>\n

The photos that have been offered to the public do not detract from his professional approach to everything he does or has done. Experience in working with light, friendship with bands, curiosity and love for everything he does, contributed to the creation of thousands of frozen moments, which Zeko now offers to the public, not only as exceptional photographic achievements, but also as countless human stories. His photos exude, not only an authentic rock light, with all its effects, but also a specific artistry, which is not only the coincidence of a stopped fraction of a second, but in this way Zeko reveals to us the subtlety of the emotions he cherishes towards his work and the people he works with. He started working with the group \"Emir Kusturica & the No Smoking Orchestra\" in 1999, when his professional photographic career also began (amateur since 1985). His photos were published in all domestic and the most prestigious world magazines and newspapers: Rolling Stone, Playboy, Figaro, Madame, Le Monde, Corriere della Sera...<\/p>\n

In 2023, he received support for the exhibition \"It was a better and happier time\", and the books - photo monographs \"Emir Kusturica & the No Smoking Orchestra - the 25th year and \"That was some nicer and happier time\" get the status of a capital work at the competition of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
