Photography exhibition opens on 4 June 2015 in Fotografski muzej Maribor, Slovenia

I am very happy to announce that few of my photographs will be exhibited in the upcoming group photography exhibition that will feature photographs of Festival Lent, from four of its, current and past, official photographers: Boštjan Lah, Dejan Bulut, Nebojša Tejić and yours truly.

The Pyramids started in the 1970s in Ohio and self released tree records, disbanded in the 1977, only to be resurrected 30 years later - their "massive Afro-centric drumming meets ecstatic group improvisations" caught attention of the famous DJ Gilles Peterson and the rest is history!

Last concert of the first part of their European tour was exactly as last gigs should be - sold out, packed and awesome!

First concert of the "Jazz v Narodnem domu" (Jazz in Narodni dom) series in 2015, brought us a very interesting Austrian electro / post-rock trio Radian!

The final gallery from this years Festival Lent contains some moments captured offstage, on stage (but not as performance), behind stage and on the streets of Maribor, during the festival.

During this 16 days of Festival Lent, I also shoot some (contemporary) dance performances and theatre for children - find some of those images in this gallery :)

Street theatre at it's best!

Shooting 16 days lasting festival (!!) as one of the official photographers can be really tough, but a great joy, too! Here is the first gallery of photos from this years festival, others are following!

Less then two years after their great gig in Maribor, excellent rock-jazz quartet from Bristol is back in Maribor by popular demand!

Second concert in 2014 in "Jazz in Narodni dom" (Jazz v Narodnem domu) series - very interesting and a very loud night of John Zorn's music by seasoned musicians!

Another concert from the "Jazz in Narodni dom" (Jazz v Narodnem domu) series and this time with a touch of punk!
