DEAN GOLJA – Image & Video Artist
www.deangolja.com
Practicing artist since 1993 having completed a fine art degree from Royal Melbourne institute of Technology and in a Master of Electronic Arts from the Australian National University, Canberra in 2002. This means, that alongside my business practice, I’ve been able to spend time investigating non-commercial ideas and larger scale, self-initiated projects for public exhibition. All of these have been commissioned in some form or other and give me a reason for believing in and maintaining a deep interest in all forms of Photography.
