It is with great sadness that we share news of the passing of photographer Slobodan Dimitrov. Slobodan was a Studio Artist with Angels Gate Cultural Center for 30+ years, during which he photographed many fellow Studio Artists for his Artist Portraits series.
Throughout his life, Slobodan dedicated himself to extensive projects that expertly utilized photography to document the labor force, including a 20-year project documenting the Piledrivers Union Local 2375 and Local 34. The Longshore, a mural which depicts the various longshore occupations in the Port of Los Angeles, can be seen at 255 West 7th Street in San Pedro, CA.
Prolific and engaged, Slobodan had an immense impact on the Angels Gate community and he will be missed.
