concerts — Ivor Karabatkovic Photography

Ivor is a Nashville-based photographer and creative strategist. He currently serves as the Director of Communications and Digital Strategy at The Village Chapel, where he leads creative efforts that help people connect more deeply with faith, community, and the beauty of the Gospel.

Ivor began his career as a staff photojournalist, covering major events like the NBA, MLB, NCAA games, and U.S. Presidential Elections. Over the years, he’s worked with clients such as Rolling Stone Magazine, Sony Nashville, iHeartRadio, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, building long-standing relationships across the music, sports, and media industries.

While his focus has shifted away from full-time freelancing, Ivor continues to document the world around him through Birds of Radnor Lake, a personal project that showcases the beauty and biodiversity of one of Tennessee’s most beloved state parks. His hope is to build a community of people who cherish Radnor and are inspired to notice and protect the wildlife that call it home.

Originally from Bosnia, Ivor draws deeply on his experience as a refugee to connect with his subjects and tell stories marked by authenticity, empathy, and a sense of wonder. He continues to keep a portfolio of his sports, music, and editorial work online as a tribute to the seasons and stories that shaped his path.

He’s always glad to connect with fellow photographers, creatives, and nature lovers — especially those who believe in slowing down and seeing beauty in the details.
