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 :)

I proposed, and Mojca agreed, that we do a classic black and white photographs on simple white background, so that she would be the main star of the photograph, without and distracting elements. With a big help from Breza and Natka (thank you!) we made a photo studio at Pandora’s HQ, and Mojca did her magic :)

Sadly, her teacher Maja Logar couldn't be with us on that day due to illness, but Mojca was a true professional which made my job as a photographer relatively easy :)

And yes, her husband LOVED the calendar he got as a gift! :)

Pandora - Art of Pole studio photoshoot 2025 - winter edition

Sunday, 11/01/2026

This winter was quite rough for me. I spent almost three weeks stuck at home due to a winter flu that swept through my family — and a good part of Maribor, Slovenia, and beyond. That’s the main reason I’m so behind on publishing photographs from this great photoshoot on my blog.

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.
