2023 calendar photoshoot

Shooting Edita for a 2023 calendar was surely one of the longest, but also a photoshoot filled with many, many loud laughs that I had in years! :)

I’m always flabbergasted by the easiness and grace dancers perform their acts, maybe even more when it comes to the pole dancers. Simply amazing! :)

Dancers in studio photo shoot: Vanja Kolanovič

First in my new series of dancers in studio photoshoots features amazing dancer and dance teacher Vanja Kolanovič :)

"Plesni utripi" featured dance schools and groups from Maribor region and it was divided into two nights - some amazing performances there, I really enjoyed it photographing!

My 8th Winter dance school in a row, but this time in a way different.

Mojca pole dance calendar photo shoot

Wednesday, 01/12/2021

I was contacted recently by Mojca, a pole dance student of Pandora - Art of Pole pole dance school, with a very specific request - she wanted to do a photoshoot of herself doing pole dance poses for a calendar. Needless to say, the challenge sounded to good to be true so I jumped at the idea immediately :)

30. Odprta plesna scena (30th Open Dance Scene)

Third and the last day of the annual 30. Odprta plesna scena (30th Open dance scene) festival brought the dynamic duo of Marina Abib and Beno Novak with their performance "Kup kuncev" (400 rabbits) which was a pure joy to photograph :)

30. Odprta plesna scena (30th Open Dance Scene)

First night of 30th Open Dance Scene was reserved for "Plesni utripi mladih" (Youth Dance Beats) - presentation of dance miniatures of young dancers from various local dance schools and selection for Živa, the Festival of young dance creativity in Slovenia.

Besides live music and festivals, dance is probably my favourite subject to photograph, so when I got a chance to shoot gathering of local belly dance groups last week, I was immediately on board! :)

Last weekend, I've been very privileged to photograph amazing young dancers from whole Slovenia (plus some foreign guests) with their amazing mentors, during the 30th Winter dance school (30. Zimska plesna šola). Such passion and talent in one place - simply, for a lack of better word, amazing!

Moment - Monja & Domen - the dancing couple, a quick photo shoot

Monday, 22/12/2014

Monja Lorenčič and Domen Žugelj, known also under their artistic name Moment, are two great, young and very talented dancers from Slovenia that needed some fresh pics for their portfolio - I was very honoured to work with them on a quick photo shoot last month and am sure will do this again, since all three of us had a great time :)

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 :)
