Tadej Vesenjak has a new album called "Naša dejanja odmevajo v večnost" (Our actions resonate to eternity - roughly translated), and I'm very happy to be a part of it as a photographer! :)
Tadej Vesenjak is a great singer songwriter from a region of Slovenia called Prlekija and he writes brilliant songs about life, love and (social) changes all around us. Besides the great lyrics and accompanying music, the fact which really blows my mind is that he doesn't sing in English (English is pretty common with young bands in the region), not even in Slovenian - he sings in his strong dialect (for which he has my deepest respect), making his music and his performances even more unique.
I had the pleasure to shoot few times now (see related galleries below) and was very happy when we invited me to collaborate on his new record as a photographer - he had a vision of the way it should look, and I'm glad that I could help him to realise that vision.
Have to mention, though, that I'm not the only one in my family who participated in making of this CD - my wife Špela, a professional violinist, played on two tracks on the album, too, making this a real family project!
A beginning of a beautiful friendship? I'm pretty sure it is... :)
PS: You can get your copy of this CD at Založba Pivec website.
Pandora - Art of Pole studio photoshoot #2

After an intense yet energising first day of our pole dance studio photoshoot, the second day took on a different approach.

Saturday, 26/10/2024
A few months ago, I had the privilege of photographing the talented pole dancers (and some of their teachers) from Pandora - Art of Pole, a well-known Maribor-based pole dance school, in a studio setting. This wasn’t my first time capturing their artistry — it’s become a wonderful tradition to provide the students with lasting memories of their hard work throughout the school year and the incredible progress they’ve made.

Uroš Kaurin and Vito Weis are two brilliant Slovenian actors whose performance Heroj 2.0 (Hero 2.0) made quite a big impression on me and my wife Špela.

Helika, promo shooting
Last weekend I did a quick promo photoshoot for a Croatian/Slovenian band Helika, which, I’m sure, is already a pretty known name to the regular readers of my blog since I’ve been photographing them on multiple occasions. And that’s not just because my wife is in the band, but also ‘cause I really like their "trip pop" music!

Benefit for Dvorana Gustaf
Pekarna, Dvorana Gustaf, Maribor (Slovenia), 22/12/2012
Underground culture means usually little money for organising the regular program and paying the monthly bills. Winter months are especially problematic, since the heating bills can get pretty big and that's where this benefit concert for helping the Gustaf club comes to play!
