Zelko Nedic is a professional photographer based in Newtown, New South Wales
Originally of Serbian heritage, Zelko immigrated to Australia in 2000. Previous to this he was based in Europe working as a hair and make up artist for a range of haute couture designers including Versace and Vivienne Westwood. He enjoys the concept of creating entire identities amalgamating hair styling and make up with fetishist outfits, corsetry and victorian gothic. His hair work is more sculpture than practical and is of the ilk of a Lady Gaga or an Alexander McQueen show.
Through this medium Zelko moved into photography and has developed a commercial business venture alongside being a professional exhibiting artist. His passion for photography grew into an obsession after loosing all the images from his childhood during the Bosnian war in 1992.
Zelko Nedic is a self-taught photographer with a penchant for somewhere in between perfection and the pathetic, pondering the unchartered territory of what might be, the slightly dirty side of the moment.
His personal work has bought him to working in 2010 with Head On to document the Mardi Gras Festival. His practice of documenting Sydney life saw him invited to present work for the Australian Centre for Photography for the Subculture Slide night in March 2010. In 2011, 2014, 2015 Zelko Nedic was one of the finalists in Moran Contemporary photographic prize. In 2013 and 2017 he was finalist in the prestigious National Photographic Portrait Prize, National Portrait Gallery Canberra.

August 21st, 2013I worked with Zelko on a several photo shoots. He is a true artist, sometimes it's hard to figure out what exactly he has in mind, until you see the final photo . He is also easy to work with, he always makes you feel comfortable and is fun to be around.Testimonials Submitted by the photographer
