Viktor Šekularac was born in 1980 in Belgrade. He studied photography at the Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade, and in 1999, while still a student, joined Otpor, the resistance movement against Milošević's regime, as both a photographer and art director. His early photographs were taken immediately before and after the 5 October 2000 events, representing an artist's immediate reaction to Milošević's Serbia and the transition that followed. Through his work we follow a generation that grew up in constant economic crisis and war.
From 2003 to 2006 he worked as graphic designer and photographer for Remont Independent Artistic Association and Art Magazine in Belgrade. In 2005 he created the visual identity for the 46th October Salon. In 2006 he moved to New York, where he worked as a photojournalist and began creating his photo series of city landscapes, street life, and the underground music scene.
He has since participated in the MultiMadeira Artist Residency in Funchal, Portugal, and created a Cuba series shot in Havana. His work has been exhibited in galleries in ex-Yugoslavia, Switzerland, France, Italy, the UK, and the US. His gorgeous muse, French actress Hélène Kuhn, features throughout his work. He currently lives and works in Paris. In 2025 he photographed for Vogue Adria.
