About me
_JPG.jpg)
Aleksandar Tomovski is born in 1985 in Skopje - a software engineer by day, photographer and filmmaker the rest of the time.
His love for photography awakens in nature and mountain heights, then descends and grows through the city streets and gets closer to people's everyday life, to gradually focus on capturing the essence of women, which over the centuries has defined art and is an eternal inspiration of the artists. Perhaps ballet and ballerinas find their place here, with all the elegance and grace they possess, but also expressions through acting, dance, costumes...
Over the years, he participates in prestigious international competitions and group exhibitions in prominent galleries, acquiring numerous (FIAP, IAAP, PSA etc.) gold, silver, bronze medals, honorary mentions, diplomas, recognitions in over 20 countries around the world.
At competitions under the patronage of the prestigious FIAP, IAAP, etc. he can also be seen as a member of the jury committees, and for the first time as a representative from Macedonia he was invited to the jury of the annual awards of the Russian international competition 35Awards.
