Vladimir Arsovski was born in Skopje in 1957. In 1976, when he enrolled at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Skopje, he began to actively pursue photography and became a member of the ETF photo club ELEMA. In 1979 he began working part time as a photographer for Zagrepski Vjesnik. Until 1982 he collaborated with several top Yugoslav photographers, including Ivo Eterovikj, thus gaining great photographic experience. In 1983, due to family reasons, he stopped working with photography to return to the era of establishment of digital photography. Being acquainted with the information technology enabled him to quickly get into the software of digital photography processing software. Three of his photographs are in the Permanent Collection of Contemporary Photography of Republic of Macedonia. This is his second solo exhibition. The first one dates from December 2006, entitled DVOJNATA DISKURZIVNOST NA EDEN FOTO ESEJ (THE DOUBLE DISCURSIVENESS OF A PHOTO ESSAY).
