Moment - Monja & Domen - the dancing couple, a quick photo shoot
Monja Lorenčič and Domen Žugelj, known also under their artistic name Moment, are two great, young and very talented dancers from Slovenia. They’re taking the dance very seriously and professionally, which, I imagine, is really hard in the given environment (Slovenia not being USA or UK and Maribor not being New York or London, e.g.). And for that, they have my full respect!
Moment - Monja & Domen - the dancing couple, a quick photo shoot
The duo if off to Australia in January 2015 to show their skills in that great country down under, and 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 :)
Guys, good luck, break a leg and show Aussies what you’re made of! ;)
