Boogie (photographer)

Boogie (born Vladimir Milivojevich in 1969) is a photographer from Serbia, based in Brooklyn, New York.
He is known for his documentary and portrait photographs of people on the margins of society. His work has been featured by the New York Times, Time magazine, Huffington Post, Huck magazine and HBO (for the show How To Make It In America).

In 1997 Boogie was granted a Green card for United States lawful permanent residency through its Diversity Immigrant Visa lottery program. He moved to New York City in 1998 and is based in Brooklyn.

He and his wife Nami have two children, Maya and Aleksandar.

Boogie was featured in Cheryl Dunn's Everybody Street (2013) documentary film along with other photographers who have used New York City streets as a major subject in their work.

He has had six books of photography published, the first five in black and white and the most recent in colour. The first, It's All Good (then titled In the Projects), was one of five finalists for Best Photography Book of 2006 at the Santa Fe Prize for Photography.

In 2009 Altamont Apparel had a range of t-shirts with photographs of Boogie's screen-printed on them.
