About... me

My name is Ivan Klindic, I live in Zagreb, Croatia, and I’m trying my best to tell stories with my photos.

Considering my overall career, I describe myself as a content creator. I manage several websites under the Media Platform Group, which I founded in 2018 (read more on the My Businesses page), and I also work as a content producer for an IT company.

Here’s a short history of my photography career:

  • In 2003, while I was in elementary school, I got my first camera and discovered my love for photography.
  • In 2010, I got a job at a Croatian photo agency, working both on the photo desk and occasionally as a photographer. During that period, I had many photos published on the cover of daily newspapers, mostly from the football matches.
  • In the early 2010s, I earned a specialist degree in digital photography and processing, collaborated with several worldwide news and sports agencies, and had my work published on every continent.
  • In 2011 I was even ranked among the top 10 rookies at the CNN iReport Boot Camp (I started in May 2011 and got up to 7th place).
  • In 2013 I started Lice Grada Facebook page, which kinda started all of this, and in 2016 I launched licegrada.hr website.
  • In 2018 I started my own publishing company and started building a big archive of Zagreb photos, which in the August of 2024 reached 100,000 photos (this number grows every week).

The list could be much more detailed and longer, but let’s leave it like this.

I won’t talk about every little thing I did, with whom I’ve collaborated, speak about my awards, or list every interview I gave (I’m done with bragging for now), I can just tell you that I’m a guy who loves his job of freezing moments and telling stories with photos 😎 That one click can change everything, and that’s the thing that inspires me and keeps me going.

Currently, as said on the My Businesses page, I’m running a couple of websites and photo projects.

Two, which I consider to be my biggest projects, are Fotografije Zagreba (photo archive with over 100.000 photos of Zagreb and various interesting photo projects) and Croatia Captured (project that I don’t consider a job, this is an adventure that keeps my life batteries full).

I also have to mention Lice Grada (the face of the city – a website about Zagreb which, in a way, started all of this back in 2016) and Zagreb 360 (this is a cool project I would like to work on more because I have really cool ideas, but I simply don’t have that much free time to spare. One day…).

One last thing about photography: I’ve been a Canon shooter for 15+ years, but I’ve been trying out Fujifilm religion since 2021, and I kinda like it 😈

Two not-so-fun-but-interesting facts about me: I love running and watches.
