My name is Tomislav Može. I’m a 27 year old student from Zagreb, Croatia. After finishing high school in Zagreb, I took almost any job I could find (from metalwork to building sound and light stages for concerts). In that period I also got into mountain biking; I was one of the first mtb trial riders in Croatia, and the founder of the first club for extreme bike disciplines. During my biking period I was competing in mtb freestyle, BMX street and won a few medals. At that period I’ve been one of the best riders in Croatia. My first real contact with photography was by observing various artists on deviantArt. I stumbled upon the aforementioned site while looking for illustrations and drawings since illustrating and drawing were my childhood hobbies. I took my first photo in 2006 for the needs of my biking club, before I had a knee injury which permanently prevents me from further bmx riding and competing. This series of events set me on a search for a new hobby and this is how the story of me as a photographer started. At the end of the 2006 I bought my first camera - dslr canon 350d. It was really bold of me to purchase that camera since I didn’t even know what slr means.
At the end of 2007 I decided to try to get in to the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb, school cinematography. I got in from my first attempt. Nowadays, I’m currently on the third year of study.
